The Modern English language is inflected which is inclined to be analytical,the system of prepositions has been developed for the compensation of the functions of lost case forms.

The Latin language belongs to the inflected type, and the word order is free, because the words have a highly developed system of paradigm. The same feature is typical to the Russian language. In the inflected type of languages one suffix may express different grammatical categories, for example, Latin frango - я понимаю, where "о" expresses tense (present), number (singular), person(I), voice (active), mood (indicative).

Polysynthetic or incorporated type of languages are characterized by the following features:

a) the word and the sentence coincide

b) the word and affix coincide

c) parts of speech are not differentiated.

For example, in Chucotic language «вымынгынторген» expresses «я вынимаю руку». Here the sentence is alike a word.

There are some languages of this type, for example, the so- called languages of American Indians.

There exist some other classifications.

The American linguist Edward Sapir classified language systems on the basis of two units: analytism and synthetism. All the languages may be described according to these two positions.

The Russian linguist G. P. Melnikov classified languages on the basis of his inner determinants . G.P. Melnikov’s concept of inner determinants of languages allows to interpret the traditional morphological classification of languages as a system of types opposed according to their inner determinants in historically formed specific communicative conditions acting as external determinants of languages. Besides, there exists the so- called quantitative classification of the American linguist Greenberg Joseph, this classification resumes presence or absence of the statistical frequency of the isolated, agglutinated and inflected units. From this viewpoint Modern English is an analytical type and at the same time possesses some agglutinated features.

Fortunatov F.F. considers the Arabic language to be agglutinated-inflected as the roots in this language consist of consonants, and the "harakats" which are used after each consonant express lexical and grammatical meanings. It is easy to change these harakats(to place them after each consonant letter and to take them out). That is why Fortunatov F.F. considers this language to be agglutinated -inflected.
