Believe it or not, Tagalog has it too.. It's "kata"(I+you) but people have been favoring "tayo" (now, I+you & I+you+etc.) instead.. As for other languages, Hawaiian comes to mind.. And I believe Samoan, Tahitian, and other eastern Polynesian languages do too. They just refer to I+you as "dual inclusive" and I+you+etc. as just plural inclusive (or something similar). --Chris __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
