[Hartmut Haberland]

Isn’t that rather like in French (je – moi, on – nous)? Hartmut Haberland

Hello Denys,

Tshwa languages (Kalahari Khoe, Khoe-Kwadi) spoken in Botswana have two 1SG pronouns - with a morphologically more marked pronoun that is used in certain pragmatically marked contexts (e.g., contrastive focus, thetic utterances).

Best,
Lee
