Philippine Languages
All Philippine languages, as most Austronesian languages, have no gender pronouns; in Tagalog, for example, siya is used for people of both sexes (respectful plural: sila), and sometimes for animals (which are also referred to by pronouns approximating "that" and "it").

Famous quotes containing the word languages:
“No doubt, to a man of sense, travel offers advantages. As many languages as he has, as many friends, as many arts and trades, so many times is he a man. A foreign country is a point of comparison, wherefrom to judge his own.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
