#bc theres just less people who share your rank so less same-pronouns

re: rank-based pronouns in clonelang, you could take it another step further and have specific vocabularies assigned to the level of deference (like in krama inggil in javanese) - maybe not to the extent of having entirely different sets of nouns (which might not be practical in a military setting) but grammar n pronouns could definitely differ. it’d also probably work better for the ABC rank system u described. idk it’s so interesting !!!!

omggg if i get the chance ill look that up! for a military setting though it might work out better if they keep the one set of nouns but have the pronouns switch places easily enough. i dont know if there's a language that exists irl that's structured around the speaker and not around the spoken-to but itd be interesting to see how they organize their pronouns!
