oftentimes grammatical gender actually makes the language easier, paradoxically, and I’m sure there’s a really good explanation out there

I don’t have the source with me, but I recall a paper about listening to various languages unser different signal/ noise thresholds. If I recall correctly, languages like German that have multiple declensions were about to better able to parse noisy samples because of the redundant information. Sorry for not having the source off hand though.
