Bastarneian grammar is the set of structural rules of the Bastarneian language, which in many respects is similar to that of the other Germanic languages.
Although some features of Bastarneian grammar, such as the formation of some of the verb forms, resemble English, Bastarneian grammar differs from that of English in that it has, among other things, cases and gender in nouns and a strict verb-second word order.

Personal pronouns
The Bastarneian personal pronoun system is relatively similar to other Germanic languages, particularly German and Icelandic. Pronouns inflect for person, for number, and, in the third person, for gender. Much like many other Germanic languages, Bastarneian has a separate third-person reflexive pronoun se.
