Chomsky mentions so-called free word order languages on ABC radio after
receiving Sydney 2011 Peace Prize. In the '70 these were supposed to be
such as Australian Aboriginal and native American languages, but also,
notably, Japanese. At that time they seemed nothing like well known
western languages.

Now it seems they have normal rule/parameter structures. From your
example of Waikikamukau it is clear that even some names are built that
way. So you can actually learn such language. In order to understand haka,
of course.
