Bantu languages are a good example of this.
Consider, "andiyakuhambani"
I am not walking.
"a-"
"ndi-" I (Class one personal pronoun)
"-ku-" ( present tense indicator )
"hamba" walk
"-ani" (Negatory suffix )
I've forgotten the correct term for all those parts of speech. :(
Each of those prefixes,suffixes, and Concords changes according to the
class that the object noun is in.
