I guess now that any LLM powered AI tools can respond to this type of query, the answers are not quite as relevant anymore.

However, I wanted to offer a more generic solution to the problem, and something that fits with a Languages & Linguistics flavour.

If you consider linguistic topology rather than the parts of speech as a starting point, you can come up with a much more flexible solution to the problem. This is because most languages can be broken up into its respective topology (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_typology), which you can more easily rearrange or interpret without needing an in-depth knowledge of the grammar (which is often full of exceptions).

For example, in English the basic sentences follow a SVO topology (Subject, Verb, Object) like "I like cars". In Japanese, with a SOV topology, the sentence would be written as "I cars like" or "私は 車が 好きです"

I am still working on this concept and building physical representations of this concept, but hopefully a digital version will be made available by someone (if it is not already out there).
