Fun read, but alas factually inaccurate. Article says: &quot;almost all European languages belong to one family – Indo-European – and of all of them, English is the only one that doesn’t assign genders that way.&quot;<p>1. There&#x27;re quite a few languages in Europe that do not belong to Indo-European: Basque, Estonian, Finnish, Georgian, Hungarian, Turkish...<p>2. It is not true that English is the only Indo-European language the nouns of which don&#x27;t have gender. Armenian for instance, does not and there are probably others.
