> Most other languages don't have this problem

A lot of languages have this property: Germanic languages (incl. English), Slavic languages, Indian languages, most Chinese languages.

There are strictly _more_ languages with the opposite order (nouns before adjectives), at least in this dataset, but that seems to be an artifact of the huge number of distinct languages with relatively few speakers documented in Southeast Asia, Papua New Guinea and Africa.

I suspect that weighted by number of speakers, adjective-noun is the most common order globally.
