In Irish 'thú' is accusative, 'tú' is the nominative. Also, 'sinn' and 'muidne' are forms for 'we' too.
And watch the spelling on 'táimid' - remember, caol le caol, leathan le leathan :wink:

Neqitan, I would have used كان 'to be.' It is used in every tense/mode except the imperfective/simple present (even the subjunctive), and it is an irregular verb in the sense that it is a hollow verb. You could have used that instead of the negation verb لَيس that is used with nominal predicates. :D

I noticed that both Standard Swedish and Westrobothnian had the pronouns in a different order than all the other Germanic lauages, so I fixed that and added Westrogothian.

Note: Arabic doesn't have a verb akin to English "to be" in the Present tense but in the Past tense. Instead, it has a distinct verb for "to not be". So the Arabic translation actually reads "I am not", "you (singular masc.) are not", "you (singular fem.) are not", "he is not", etc. There are also three rows because dual forms were included.

Note: Arabic doesn't have a verb akin to English "to be" in the Present tense but in the Past tense. Instead, it has a distinct verb for "to not be". So the Arabic translation actually reads "I am not", "you (singular masc.) are not", "you (singular fem.) are not", "he is not", etc. There are also three rows because dual forms were included.

The Cherokee words I added have basically the same translation, however, it is very rare that they are used, except for nania, nanivi, ayv, and nihi, which are still unnecessary in most cases.

The Tzotzil words oyon and oyot are so rare that it was actually pointless to write them, but they do exist, however, so I did write them.

I had no idea where to place them since no one started an American section here, or at least that I could find, so I wrote them at the end.
