===Languages with noun classes=== *[[Atlantic languages]] ([[Niger–Congo languages|Niger–Congo language family]]) **[[Fula language|Fula]] (Fulfulde, Pulaar, Pular) **[[Wolof language|Wolof]] *all [[Bantu language]]s (Niger–Congo language family) such as **[[Ganda language#Noun classes|Ganda]]: ten classes called simply ''Class I'' to ''Class X'' and containing all sorts of arbitrary groupings but often characterised as ''people'', ''long objects'', ''animals'', ''miscellaneous objects'', ''large objects and liquids'', ''small objects'', ''languages'', ''pejoratives'', ''infinitives'', ''mass nouns'', plus four 'locative' classes. Alternatively, the Meinhof system of counting singular and plural as separate classes gives a total of 21 classes including the four locatives. **[[Swahili language|Swahili]] **[[Zulu language|Zulu]] *[[Northeast Caucasian languages]] such as [[Bats language|Bats]] *[[Dyirbal language|Dyirbal]]: ''Masculine'', ''feminine'', ''vegetable'' and ''other''. (Some linguists do not regard the noun-class system of this language as grammatical gender.) *[[Arapesh languages]] such as [[Mufian language|Mufian]]
