Some 19th-century grammars of Latin, such as Raphael Kühner's 1844 grammar, organized non-personal pronouns (interrogative,
demonstrative, indefinite/
quantifier,
relative) in a table of "correlative" pronouns due to their similarities in
morphological derivation and their syntactic relationships (as
correlative pairs) in that language. Later that century,
L. L. Zamenhof, the inventor of
Esperanto, made use of the concept to systematically create the pro-forms and determiners of Esperanto in a regular
table of correlatives. The table of correlatives for English follows. Some languages may have more categories. See
demonstrative. Note that some categories are regular and some are not. They may be regular or irregular also depending on languages. The following chart shows comparison between English,
French (irregular) and
Japanese (regular): (Note that "daremo", "nanimo" and "dokomo" are universal quantifiers with positive verbs.) Some languages do not distinguish interrogative and indefinite pro-forms. In
Mandarin, "
Shéi yǒu wèntí?" means either "
Who has a question?" or "Does
anyone have a question?", depending on context. ==See also==
