Can you think of a language that does not have a *present* tense?

@ehud @linguistics @languagelovers Depends on whether you're talking about about #morphologically marked #presenttense or the ability to indicate the present. Morphologically, there are certainly #languages that mark #habitualaspect rather than present tense. For example, some varieties of #LouisianaCreole only mark habitual aspect and then use a separate marker to indicate whether it's habitual in the past (w/marker) or present (w/o marker).
