<br>
Salishan and Wakashan languages are well-known for this, particularly in regards to the use of person-indexes and tense/mood markers on non-verbal predicates, and the appearance of tense and mood like morphemes attached to nouns in other syntactic roles. This is also seen in the neighbouring Tsimshianic and Chimakuan languages, making it an areal pattern.<br>
