Itakian not only has singular and plural pronouns (with an inclusive-exclusive distinction in plural), but also paucal pronouns, often having the sense of "just the ones in sight", or "just the ones we're talking about". So it doesn't exactly make the same distinction but the first paucal inclusive happens to be used a lot for "you and I", and the exclusive for "he/she/they and I".
