Slovene still has the grammatical dual and we still have (and use) pronouns that could literally be translated as "we two" (midva/midve) and "you two" (vidva/vidve) and so on. I've been told it used to be the same in most other Slavic languages.

There are still some remnants of this in Serbian and Croatian, e.g. the semi-dual "nas dvoje / nas dva".
