"true"? Are constructed languages false? :-)
This phenomenon is called "inclusive and exclusive pronouns" and yes,
there are many languages that have it, though other people than me
will have to give examples.
Ilaini has only one inclusive pronoun, for the first person dual:
inini "you and I" -> "we".
