Basque

Basque is a language isolate unrelated to any other in Europe, with ergative-absolutive alignment and verb forms that agree with up to three arguments at once, so sentence structure has no Indo-European parallel.

Written in Latin · Isolate family

The ergative marker attaches to the subject; a sentence template that swaps in a name without the ending is ungrammatical.

American English

English is the shortest of the supported languages in almost every measurement, which is why interfaces designed in English tend to break when translated into anything else.

Written in Latin · West Germanic family

British and American spelling, date order and vocabulary differ enough to matter; choose EN-GB or EN-US explicitly instead of bare EN.

Formality for this pair

American English does not distinguish formal from informal address, so the formality parameter is accepted but has no effect.
