Indo-European Languages:

* English: We

* German: Wir

* French: Nous

* Spanish: Nosotros/Nosotras

* Italian: Noi

* Russian: Мы (my)

* Hindi: हम (hum)

* Latin: Nos

Other Language Families:

* Korean: 우리 (uri)

* Arabic: نحن (naḥnu)

* Hebrew: אנחנו (anachnu)

It's important to note that some languages may have different forms of "we" depending on the context (e.g., formal vs. informal, inclusive vs. exclusive).

Beyond individual words:

Some languages don't have a direct equivalent of "we" but use other grammatical structures to express the concept of inclusiveness. For example, in some Native American languages, the verb itself might incorporate the concept of "we," making a separate word for "we" unnecessary.
