==== Differentiation of nouns with human referents ====
In some languages, nouns with human references have two forms, a male and a female one. This includes not only proper names, but also names for occupations and nationalities. Examples include:

* English proper names:
*# male: ''Andrew''
*# female: ''Andrea''
*# common: ''Chris'' for both male and female
* English occupation names
*# male: ''waiter''
*# female: ''waitress''
*# common: ''doctor'' for both male and female
* Greek proper names {{lang|el|Κωνσταντίνος}} ({{transliteration|el|Konstantinos}}) and {{lang|el|Κωνσταντίνα}} ({{transliteration|el|Konstantina}})
* Greek occupation names {{lang|el|ηθοποιός}} ({{transliteration|el|ithopios}}) "actor" for both male and female in Greek and {{lang|el|γιατρός}} ({{transliteration|el|giatros}}) "doctor" for both, but with informal female variants {{lang|el|γιατρίνα}} ({{transliteration|el|giatrina}}) and {{lang|el|γιάτραινα}} ({{transliteration|el|giatraina}})
* Greek nationality names have five possibilities for 'English'.
*# male: {{lang|el|Άγγλος}} ({{transliteration|el|Anglos}})
*# female: {{lang|el|Αγγλίδα}} ({{transliteration|el|Anglida}})
*# masculine: {{lang|el|αγγλικός}} ({{transliteration|el|anglikos}})
*# feminine: {{lang|el|αγγλική}} ({{transliteration|el|angliki}})
*# neuter: {{lang|el|αγγλικό}} ({{transliteration|el|angliko}})

To complicate matters, Greek often offers additional informal versions of these. The corresponding for English are the following: {{lang|el|εγγλέζος}} ({{transliteration|el|englezos}}), {{lang|el|Εγγλέζα}} ({{transliteration|el|Engleza}}), {{lang|el|εγγλέζικος}} ({{transliteration|el|englezikos}}), {{lang|el|εγγλέζικη}} ({{transliteration|el|engleziki}}), {{lang|el|εγγλέζικο}} ({{transliteration|el|engleziko}}). The formal forms come from the name {{lang|el|Αγγλία}} ({{transliteration|el|Anglia}}) "England", while the less formal are derived from Italian {{lang|it|inglese}}.
