Many natlangs, especially in the Americas. I think all Uto-Aztecan
languages have it, at least, I can't think of an example without it
off the top of my head. Oddly enough, I once supposed that Tupian
might be related to UA (OK, I was young and foolish!)
I think Dirk Elzinga's Tepa has it but I haven't looked at his for
a while. My faux Amerind lg will have it if I ever find more time
to work on it.
