Honestly not sure what you mean by 'triliterate alignment' here. If you mean a language with three distinct voices (usually active, middle, and passive) then both Swedish and Icelandic are good examples. Old Norse and Ancient Greek are also good examples, but information on those two languages is harder to come across. The antipassive voice is present in most Australian Aboriginal or Native American languages. It's also present in Basque, though it works differently.
