However, people have created some new, neutral pronouns, which are used in some groups. These include: | ||
''' | '''el@, del@, nel@'''. This uses an @ (at symbol) to show ambiguity of the letter. This only works in writing. It can't be said out loud. It can't be read by blind people and it can confuse dislexic people. | ||
''' | '''elx, delx, nelx'''. This uses an x to show ambiguity of the letter.

''' | '''elu, delu, nelu.''' This uses an u to show ambiguity of the letter. It's the most recommended to be used to include visually disabled people. This pronoun has some variations in its writing and pronunciation: '''''êlu, dêlu, nêlu; élu, délu, nélu.''''' <ref name=":1" /> | ||
'''el, del, nel.''' This isn't gender specific as it doesn't indicate any gender by the absence of a gendered letter.<ref name=":1" /> | |||
'''éli, déli, néli.''' This has a similar pronunciation as the male pronoun ''ele'', but shows ambiguity by the use of '''''i'''''. And as the above, it also has variations: '''''eli, deli, neli.'''''<ref name=":1" /> | |||
'''''íli, díli, níli.''''' This shows ambiguity by the letter ''i.'' Some variations can be found: '''''ílu, dílu, nílu; ílo, dílo, nílo; ile, dile, nile; ilo, dilo, nilo.'''''<ref name=":1" /> | |||
'''''ély, dély, nély.''''' As the pronoun '''''éli, déli''''', its pronunciation is very simillar to ''ele.'' Some variations are: '''''ely, dely, nely; élw, délw, nélw''''' (this last one being unpronounceable as well).<ref name=":1" /> | |||
'''''els, dels, nels.''''' This shows ambiguity by the usage of ''s'' instead of a gendered letter. Also unpronounceable.<ref name=":1" /> | |||
'''''el', del', nel'.''''' Demonstrates neutrality by the usage of ''<nowiki/>'.'' Also unpronounceable.<ref name=":1" /> | |||
'''''eld, deld, neld.''''' This show ambiguity by the usage of ''d.'' Also unpronounceable.<ref name=":1" /> | |||
'''''yn, dyn, nyn.''''' This pronoun is very different and doesn't follow the structure of '''''"el_, del_, nel_".''''' <ref name=":1" /> | |||
