@redenchilada English divides its perspective into three groups, though some languages distinguish between separate third person perspectives based on their salience, where a proximate third party would be treated differently than an omniscient non-participant observer. So while in English both are categorized as "third person", the latter is sometimes referred to in other languages as an ostensible "fourth person" in writing mechanics.
