@cite{wals-2013}
Latin (Indo-European, Italic): no definite or indefinite articles (bare nouns are ambiguous); textbook three-way distance-oriented demonstrative system: hic (proximal), iste (medial), ille (distal); same forms for pronominal and adnominal demonstratives (with full case/gender/number inflection in both uses); 3rd-person pronoun is/ea/id historically related to all demonstratives via shared inflection patterns.
