Japanese (Japonic): no definite or indefinite articles; three-way person-oriented demonstrative system (ko- near speaker, so- near hearer, a- away from both — the canonical person-oriented system); different stems for adnominal kono/sono/ano vs pronominal kore/sore/are; 3rd-person pronouns (kare/kanojo) unrelated to demonstratives (relatively recent borrowings from Classical Chinese).
