Chechen
Pronouns
Chechen personal pronouns take the same case endings
as nouns do, except in the ergative. Unlike the languages of Europe, but like several
other languages of the Caucasus, the Chechen first person
plural pronouns distinguish an inclusive and an exclusive. The inclusive 'we' refers to both speaker and
hearer while the exclusive 'we' refers to the speaker
and one or more others but not the hearer. The third person pronouns are also demonstrative
pronouns ('this one, that one', 'these, those').
