Is English the only language without artificial gender?

No, English is not the only language without artificial gender. While English does not have grammatical gender assigned to nouns like many other languages, there are several languages that also lack this feature.

Here are some examples:

* Chinese: Chinese does not have grammatical gender. Nouns are not assigned masculine, feminine, or neuter.

* Japanese: Japanese uses grammatical gender sparingly, primarily for pronouns.

* Turkish: Turkish does not assign gender to nouns or pronouns.

* Hungarian: Hungarian does not have grammatical gender.

* Finnish: Finnish lacks grammatical gender.

* Vietnamese: Vietnamese is a genderless language.

Therefore, while English might be one of the most prominent languages without artificial gender, it is certainly not the only one.
