I'm interested in peoples thoughts in general, although, this question arose in the context of a discussion concerning this sub, so primarily I was focused on English. I agree with what you've said about the Romance languages - they are similar to the second English example I gave concerning "these are dogs". I wasn't aware of the interrogative particles you mentioned (my Latin is very broken at best, and my Japanese non-existent), but I will have a read on these :-)
