What languages besides English do not have genders for nouns?

You're asking about languages that lack grammatical gender, a system where nouns are classified into categories (often masculine, feminine, and sometimes neuter). Here are some prominent examples:

Languages without grammatical gender:

* Chinese: Chinese has no grammatical gender, and nouns are not marked for gender.

* Japanese: Similar to Chinese, Japanese doesn't have grammatical gender. Pronouns like "he" and "she" are not typically used, and gender is often inferred from context or other clues.

* Korean: Korean also lacks grammatical gender.

* Vietnamese: Vietnamese nouns don't have grammatical gender.

* Hungarian: While Hungarian has some gender-related distinctions in pronouns, it doesn't have grammatical gender for nouns.

* Turkish: Turkish has no grammatical gender for nouns.

Important Note:

While these languages don't have grammatical gender, they may have other ways of indicating gender or sex.

* English is an example of a language with natural gender. We use words like "man" and "woman" to distinguish between genders.

It's also worth noting that:

* Some languages have a more complex system of grammatical gender, such as German, which can have up to three or four genders depending on the noun.

* In some languages, like French, the gender of a noun may be influenced by its ending or other grammatical rules.
