This paper aims to examine of word order of English and the Ogba languages, So as to explore the structural differences and similarities between these two language systems. The study falls under a descriptive linguistic research design, utilizing a contrastive analysis approach. The method employed in sourcing materials for this study involved a comprehensive review of linguistic literature, grammatical descriptions, and language resources on both English and the Ogba languages. Additionally, data collection methods included text analysis, corpus studies, and consultation with native speakers. The theoretical framework guiding this research is Contrastive analysis hypothesis which provides a linguistic perspective on the underlying principles governing word order variations in language structures. Through this theoretical lens, the study aims to elucidate the syntactic rules and constraints influencing word order preferences in English and the Ogba languages. The findings reveal that Ogba and English share similar word order pattern, specifically subject-verb-object (SVO), as well as pro-drop parameters and morphological forms in verbs. However, the language exhibit parametric variations in several key areas. Notably, English is compliment-initial and head-final , whereas Ogba is head-initial and compliment-final. Also Ogba lacks prominent articles in noun phrases and exhibits different patterns with numeral and demonstratives. Based on the findings, it is recommended that further research delve into specific linguistic phenomena within the Ogba languages to provide a more nuanced understanding of word order variations.
