Every language has words that;

show actions - verbs

relate to people - pronouns

relate to places, things - nouns

show position, time, movement - prepositions

modify other words - adjectives, articles, adverbs

etc. because these are the functions of words whatever the language but some languages have more than 8 parts.

For example, Japanese has as many as three classes of adjectives where English has one; Chinese, Korean and Japanese have classifiers while European languages do not. Many languages don't have a distinction between adjectives and adverbs, adjectives and verbs or adjectives and nouns.

English words have been traditionally classified into eight lexical categories, or parts of speech (and are still done so in most dictionaries).
