As a person from one of the red countries, it blows my mind how a chair can have a gender

Lithuanian has 2 grammatical genders (masculine and feminine) for the most part. The neutral gender is preserved only in some adjectives. So it should be in the category „mixed 2/3“.

Norway has three in both bokmål and nynorsk. You can choose to use only two in bokmål I believe but most use three.

I’m Portuguese and it’s a struggle to explain to people that for us „table“ is feminine object 🤣😭

Norway should be “mixed 2/3”, as it depends on dialect. It even has two formal, official written standards, one that supports 3 genders and another that supports just 2.

Romanian has three grammatical genders on paper, yes
however, the neuter behaves masculine in the single form and feminine in the plural form, making the language have two genders in practice.

Baltic languages do not have a third gender. Even the odd exception follows either masculine or feminine patterns.

Spain needs to be mixed. Both Spanish and Asturian have neuter, however, in Spanish the endings have merged with the masculine and only a handful of words distinguish (but, like, English is marked differently for distinguishing in pronoun-only situations).
Asturian has a more robust neuter, as every adjective has five forms: „altu“ (m.s.), „alta“ (f.s.), „alto“ (n), „altos“ (m.pl.), „altes“ (f.pl.).
Basque has two-ish. It has an animate/inanimate distinction and has a gendered allocutive informal form, but that’s quite minimal.

As someone from a red country, I don’t get why gendered grammar and pronouns are even a thing in the first place.

I always struggled learning German, mainly because of gendered words. Both German and my language (Slovak) have 3 genders, but they are not the same genders for specific words, so it was harder to remember when to use „Der“ „die“ and „das“
For example, the word „chair“ would be feminine in my native language, but masculine in German. If I were to use the logic in my own language, it would be „die Stuhl“ which is wrong according to Germans. So I would have to learn genders for each word manually because they were usually a different gender than what I was used to 😭

In Danish there are two it’s true, but they aren’t female/male

If you have Ireland as mixed because there are two official languages, why not do the same for Spain (basque has no grammatical gender) and Romania (Hungarian)?

In Czech and some other Slavic languages, there’s different case endings (in some cases) for masculine animate versus masculine inanimate; can we count that as 4?

Dutch should be under „its complicated“ cause we do still have three grammatical genders, especially in formal speech and writing.

In Polish, sometimes 2 additional genders for plural nouns are included, one is for male persons and the other for the rest of nouns in plural. I wonder if that’s the case in other Slavic languages

Could you explain how Sweden use grammatical gender? We do have ”en” and ”ett” yes, but those have nothing to do with genders? There is nothing masculine or feminine about them.

Dutch is also a mixed 2/3
They are officially still distinguished in references, but not in pronouns
And some dialects never lost the distinction to begin with

Interesting that only the “non-european” languages are not gendered- Turkish is an Altaic language (together with several other Asian languages like Japanese and Korean) and Finnish and Hungarian are of Uralic origin.
