That's because they are romance languages. They come from Latin where word order is irrelevant as each "word" has a different form for the specific use.

Yes, that's what I said. My native language is a romance language too. And after speaking it her whole life, my wife has trouble getting the grasp of how in English swapping two words completely changes the meaning of what she's saying (especially when it's two nouns, like e.g. "parent council")
