Yes, though perhaps I'm not using the best terminology. English doesn't have "grammatical gender", so a noun like "table" or "wisdom" doesn't have a gender like it would in French or German, but there's a distinction in pronouns ("he" and "she") which many (perhaps most) languages don't have. Unfortunately, Wikipedia doesn't seem to have a list of languages that lack gender in the sense I'm thinking of. It would be nice to have such a list, or to refine the list at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_type_of_grammatical_genders https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_type_of_g... so that it contains that information. Finnish and Hungarian lack gender in the sense I'm thinking of, and so does spoken Chinese or old Chinese: I'm told that gender was introduced into the modern written language by Europeans. (I have often heard Chinese people say "he" instead of "she" or vice versa when speaking English. I don't think I've ever heard a French or German person make that mistake. I'm thinking of cases in which the speaker knows the gender of the person being referred to but is making a language error. I don't mean cases in which people incorrectly guess the person's gender, which is also interesting, but a different kind of error.)
