=== Latin ===
[[Latin language|Latin]] has no single words for ''yes'' and ''no''. Their functions as word sentence responses to yes–no questions are taken up by ''sentence adverbs'', single adverbs that are sentence modifiers and also used as word sentences. There are several such adverbs classed as [[truth-value]] adverbs—including {{Lang|la|[[wikt:certe#Latin|certe]]}}, {{Lang|la|[[wikt:fortasse#Latin|fortasse]]}}, {{Lang|la|[[wikt:nimirum#Latin|nimirum]]}}, {{Lang|la|[[wikt:plane#Latin|plane]]}}, {{Lang|la|[[wikt:vero#Latin|vero]]}}, {{Lang|la|[[wikt:etiam#Latin|etiam]]}}, {{Lang|la|[[wikt:sane#Latin|sane]]}}, {{Lang|la|[[wikt:videlicet#Latin|videlicet]]}}, and {{Lang|la|[[wikt:minime#Latin|minime]]}} (negative). They express the speaker's/writer's feelings about the truth value of a proposition. They, in conjunction with the negator {{Lang|la|[[wikt:non#Latin|non]]}}, are used as responses to yes–no questions.<ref name=BloomfieldHockett /><ref>{{cite book|title=Latin Grammar|author=Dirk G.
