Languages don't so much evolve as drift randomly, so there is rarely a satisfactory answer to such questions. As an English speaker, the question wouldn't even occur to me because English has the same rule; you would say "He loves us all" and "He loves all us" is incorrect. English is a Germanic language, which explains the greater similarity. | |

That's what I just did. - howrudoin: Grammar is that part of syntax that deals with joining words together to build sentences. Grammar applies to written ans spoken language. Orthography is that part of syntax that deals with joining letters(characters) to build words. Orthography applies only to written language, it does not exist in spoken language. (In spoken language you don't have letters but sounds, and we don't call it orthography but articulation). | |

Also, translating word by word between unrelated languages mostly leads to incorrect structures, but the question is interesting nontheless. | |
