The Dutch language does not have any official gender-neutral pronouns, although [[nonbinary]] people have adopted other sets of pre-existing pronouns, as well as [[neopronouns]], to work around this issue. A survey by Transgender Netwerk Nederland (''Transgender Network Netherlands'') showed that hen / hen / hun ("they/them/theirs") is the most popular pronoun set, although the first ''hen'' can be replaced by ''die'' ("that/who"). <ref>https://www.transgendernetwerk.nl/non-binair-voornaamwoord-uitslag/</ref> Various other inflections can also be replaced by the corresponding form of "die", depending on the individual's preferences and how natural the sentence sounds in the person's regiolect. | The Dutch language does not have any official gender-neutral pronouns, although [[nonbinary]] people have adopted other sets of pre-existing pronouns, as well as [[neopronouns]], to work around this issue.

Use of "ze" is also possible in most cases, its use generally considered informal<ref>https://taaladvies.net/taal/advies/vraag/374</ref>. It works the same as "they" in English, you use it as if you were referring to a group of people and conjugate the verb accordingly. | Use of "ze" is also possible in most cases, its use generally considered informal<ref>https://taaladvies.net/taal/advies/vraag/374 [https://web.archive.org/web/20220322025839/https://taaladvies.net/taal/advies/vraag/374 Archived] on 17 July 2023</ref>.
