Using a balanced sample of 293 languages, we propose a new classification of types of inclusive–exclusive oppositions based on how the inclusive–exclusive opposition is worked into person–number categories, and trace their geography and likely history. Inclusive–exclusive oppositions are significantly frequent in the large Circum-Pacific linguistic area, as is the least common type, the minimal/augmented type. Within this large area, inclusive–exclusive oppositions are significantly more frequent toward the south. is worldwide geographical distribution can be explained by early population movements around the Pacific and by likely transitions from type to type of inclusive–exclusive systems. is chapter builds on our previous work on typology, linguistic geography, and ancient population movements.
