Int: Wizard. Archetypes are Evoker, Illusionist, Necromancer
Wis: Adept. Archetypes are Cloud Stalker [mobility, sneak attack], Elementalist [focused on one element], Pugilist [emphasis on melee combat]
Cha: Cleric. Archetypes are Battle, Healer, Inquisitor [skill/info based]. Clerics are supposed to be leaders, orators, and counselors. Charisma makes a reasonable amount of sense for a casting stat.

STR: Fighter, but like actually a fighter who is good at doing cool martial stuff and folding in Warlords and Barbarians
DEX: Skirmisher - Archers, Monks, and other mobile fighter types. See fighter above where they'll get things to do.
Con: Kineticist - Magic through body control, both internal and external. All the supernatural stuff from the Monk goes here.
INT: Specialist - Skillmonkey rogue types who fight with precision and planning and get in-combat skill uses to back it up.
WIS: Psion - honestly, enough said.
CHA: Mage - Bards, Sorcerers, Warlocks, Clerics, all folded into The Spellcasting Class, all about using force of will or communion with a power source.

Caveats: Some tropes get split between classes. Some subclasses have another stat as a "secondary". There are magical subclasses of noncaster classes, they get their magic abilities via class/subclass features, not spells.

If the barbarian archetype in 5e is broad enough to contain wild magic and holy power within it, it's also broad enough to contain "just a guy good with weapons" in it. The rage maybe gets flavored as a "grit and determination" kind of thing, and you're off to the races.
