Yoda's syntax is strongly OSV (Object Subject Verb). This resembles a small number of languages in northern South America. OSV is an extremely rare word order in the world's languages and there is only a small pocket of languages in northern South America that make use of it on a regular basis.

You might not have heard of this language - Kazakh (Kazakhstan is a republic of former Soviet Union). In most cases (there are exceptions of course) a sentence starts with a subject (or an attribute+subject combination) and only sometimes with an adverb. Then comes the object (or several). And the verb is always the last. Plus, not being exactly rich in prepositions and prefixes Kazakh builds its words with the help of suffixes and a bunch of endings (if I am not mistaken, the example of the largest number of endings that we were shown had like 12).

Japanese. Subject- Object- Verb. But yoda says Object-Subject-Verb. Hmmm

I think Welsh a bit.
Doesn't he use Object-subject-verb? That's very rare in human languages, but it seems to me Welsh uses it.

I have always thought it resembled Japanese..
And the Wikipedia people seem to agree.
for example:
Nanica tabitabi des ...
Something to eat be (hinting do you want)?
Genki desu ?(greeting .. good energy be (hint yes?)) (aka feel ok)
respond:
Hai! Genki desu (yes!, good ki-energy be) (aka .. I am fine)
Nanica biru des kudasai? -- anything, beer being, please polite request (aka we would unwind this to I would like a beer please)
