Inclusive and exclusive we
In linguistics, an inclusive we is a pronoun or verb conjugation that indicates the inclusion of the speaker, the audience, and perhaps other people, as opposed to an exclusive we, which specifically excludes the audience. No European language makes this distinction, but it is quite common in the indigenous languages of eastern and southwestern Asia, America, Australia and the Pacific, as well as in some Creole languages.
