===Americas=== [[File:Riksirishkakunapalla.png|thumb|383x383px|A sign in Spanish, English and [[Kichwa language|Kichwa]], an agglutinative language.]] Agglutination is used very heavily in most [[Indigenous peoples of the Americas|Native American]] [[language]]s, such as the [[Inuit languages]], [[Nahuatl]], [[Mapuche language|Mapudungun]], [[Quechua languages|Quechua]], [[Tz'utujil language|Tz'utujil]], [[Kaqchikel language|Kaqchikel]], [[Cha'palaachi]] and [[K始iche始 language|K始iche始]], where one word can contain enough [[morpheme]]s to convey the meaning of what would be a complex [[Sentence (linguistics)|sentence]] in other languages. Conversely, [[Navajo language|Navajo]] contains affixes for some uses, but overlays them in such unpredictable and inseparable ways that it is often referred to as a fusional language.{{citation needed|date=October 2017}}
