I and You in Halq'eméylem
The Halq'eméylem equivalent of English I is usually an ending -tsel, which is attached to the verb. The Halq'eméylem equivalent of English you is usually an ending -chexw.
Example:
ímex. - to walk.
Ímextsel. - I walk.
Ímexchexw. - You walk.
Both -tsel and -chexw can appear at the start of the sentence, too, instead of as endings on the verb.
Is any one variety of Halq'eméylem better than any other? From a linguistic point of view, the answer is no. There is no reason to say that one variety of any language is any better than another: each variety of a given language will contain roughly the same number of words, each variety will have an equally complex and equally systematic grammar, and each will be roughly equally similar to the oldest form of the language.
