These include: | The Portuguese language (português) doesn't normally have neutral pronouns and indicates gender by letters in pronouns, ''el'''a''' (she)'' and ''el'''e''' (he)''. 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. It can't be pronounced as well and can't be read by blind and confuses dislexic people as well.<ref name=":1">[https://orientando.org/listas/tipos-de-linguagem/]''Orientando, um espaço de aprendizagem.''

''' | '''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" /> | |||
