So, get this: That's NOT Yodic.

Take from the local Yodic Professor.

Let's take the original sentence, written in American English: "May you have a happy belated birthday."

That's SVO, regular non standard American English.

Yodic Basic uses an OSV or OVS syntax format, depending on what you need the sentence to mean.

What you have here is neither Yodic, nor English, nor American, nor Basic. It's more like a Basic DCW English.

In Yodic, we would say "Happy belated birthday, may you have."

The subject here is "you" and the verb is "have" and the object is "birthday" and the modifiers to birthday are "happy and belated" both of which, coupled with birthday, form the complete object, and it is an indirect object. The "may" here is an article, and in both Yodic and English the articles come before the subjects. Unless its "the" in which case it sometimes comes after the subject.

So we are using the OSV complex Yodic Galactic Basic format here, as opposed to your nonstandard irregular DCW complex Basic-English. What you have is not OSV, VSO, VOS, OVS, SVO, or SOV at all. It's like a half-o/half-m1o/v/s here, so yeah. OSV in a split up broken format, to be precise.

To convert your sentence to normal English would result in something like this:

"Have you a birthday that is belated and happy." That sounds more of a question than a sentence, and basically any English high school teacher would tell you that it's a ramble-on fragment, in which you have a complete sentence which is arranged improperly causing it to really appear to be several fragment sentences united to form a ramble-on, thusly creating a ramble-on fragment.

So as a great green guy would said correctly: "Happy belated birthday may you have."
