Kind of -- Lojban has a set of ten (or two sets of five) assignable
pronouns, which are most often third-person, but there's nothing
stopping you from assigning them to "speaker" or "listener".

There's also a convention of _ad hoc_ pronouns using letters, à la
"The man spoke to the woman and M said that W should come to M's house
when W was finished reading the newspaper".

There are also several first-person and second-person pronouns (e.g.
inclusive/exclusive), though the simple {mi} "I/we" and {do} "you" are
the most common IME, followed by {rodo} "all-you" for an explicitly
plural second-person pronoun.
