Topic-prominent languages are languages in which the topic of a sentence is often given more grammatical or syntactic prominence than the subject. In such languages, the structure of a sentence typically emphasizes what the speaker is talking about (the topic) before detailing what is said about that topic (the comment or predicate). This contrasts with subject-prominent languages, where the subject usually bears more grammatical significance.
