| Sep 18, 2013 at 19:13 | comment | added | hippietrail | I think I asked the question about analyzing Japanese with cases vs with particles on the site somewhere already. Yes: Are there any papers etc analyzing Japanese as a language with noun cases rather than particles? | |

I don't know Korean that well but I'm pretty sure there's no such thing as grammatical cases in Japanese. If we're talking about Particles, then I find it a bit inappropriate to use the term "nominative case" and so on. | |

Modern Standard Arabic is borderline, case endings (like short vowels) are hardly ever written down except in highly ambiguous contexts, and it is even rarer to pronounce them. | |
