Why strange? European languages -- with a couple
of exceptions (and I don't know their standard
word order) -- are all related, many fairly
closely.  On the 9other hand, many European
languages do have a common SOV pattern -- with
pronoun objects for example.  And, Sapir-Whorf
test notwithstanding, Lojban is very much an SAE
language (as is First Order Predicate Calculus,
although it is usually VSO not SVO).
