What's this? There's no mention of it on Russian grammar, which cites Russian as having three genders. Nor does Google point to any evidence of the "reciprocal gender" in Russian. -- 82.33.206.170 ( talk) 15:30, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
Would be interested in any available clarification here: >>> English (Indo-European; English has gendered pronouns, but only one grammatical gender in the sense of noun classes (All nouns are female)) <<< Not familiar with all English nouns being female. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rhino1515 ( talk • contribs) 03:22, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
In the grammar section of the Konkani Language, sub-section “Konkani Apabhramsha and Metathesis”, it indicates there are three genders in Konkani, not zero as in this article. I think the only existing Indo-European languages lacking gender classes for nouns are Afrikaans, Armenian, Bengali, English, and Persian.
Maybe a table format would be better here? Then it would be possible to sort based on language family, etc. 50.225.95.66 ( talk) 18:40, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
How come Basque is in both the "no gender" list and in one of the gender lists? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.226.11.64 ( talk) 00:32, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

Some languages, like Kannada, Gujarati, Filipino and Dutch, are included in two categories. Also it says that Middle Korean and Filipino have grammatical gender, which is not true. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.6.241.62 ( talk) 02:24, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
Kannada is listed twice still, as mentioned above, and not once in the three genders list where I would argue it belongs. There's a case to be made that there's a distinction between animacy since pretty much all nouns not referring to people are neuter but that's still different from "no gender". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.22.132.194 ( talk) 06:13, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
