This is similar to systems with a masculine–feminine contrast, except that there is a third available gender, so nouns with sexless or unspecified-sex referents may be either masculine, feminine, or neuter. There are also certain exceptional nouns whose gender does not follow the denoted sex, such as the German "Mädchen", meaning "girl", which is neuter. This is because it is actually a diminutive of "Magd" and all diminutive forms with the suffix "-chen" are neuter. Examples of languages with such a system include later forms of Proto-Indo-European (see below), Sanskrit, some Germanic languages, most Slavic languages, some Romance languages, Marathi, Latin, and Greek.
