Güldemann (2018) notes that Miyobe cannot be securely classified within Gur, and leaves it out as unclassified within Niger-Congo. Unlike the Gur languages, which are SVO, Miyobe has SOV word order like the Senufo, Mande, and Dogon languages.[4]

gollark: It is not, however, good for parsing HTML, but since TJ09 makes DC's HTML output very annoying (no convenient classes/IDs), you kind of have to use something like that.
gollark: Alternatively, downloading the HTML and parsing it via regex, but that's horrible.
