'''{{PAGENAME}}s'''s are a singular third-person pronouns that are not officially recognized in the language they are used in, typically created with the intent of being a gender-neutral pronoun set. '''Neopronominal'''<ref>https://archive.ph/3VKul</ref> is a term for those who use neopronouns.
== Definitions==
* ''Neopronouns can be used by anyone, though most often they are used by transgender, non-binary, and/or gender nonconforming people. Like all pronouns, neopronouns are personal to each individual who uses them, but they all share one thing in common: people who use neopronouns do so to feel comfortable and have their humanity acknowledged and respected.'' - Mykidisgay.com<ref>https://www.mykidisgay.com/blog/defining-neopronouns</ref>
==History==▼
* ''Neopronouns are any set of singular third person pronouns that are not officially recognized in the language they are used in, typically created with the intent of being a gender neutral pronoun set.'' - Nounself.carrd.co<ref>https://nounself.carrd.co/#definitions</ref>
Historically, there were two gender-neutral pronouns native to English dialects, ''ou'' and ''(h)a''. According to Dennis Baron's ''Grammar and Gender'':{{CitationNeeded}} Baron goes on to describe how relics of these gender-neutral terms survive in some British dialects of Modern English (for example ''hoo'' for "she", in Yorkshire), and sometimes a pronoun of one gender might be applied to a human or non-human animal of the opposite gender. This aforementioned ''hoo'' is also sometimes used in the West Midlands and south-west England as a common gender pronoun.▼
In English, and many other [[wikipedia:Indo-European languages|Indo-European languages]], third-person pronouns can be considered gendered. In English, "she/her" is considered to be for women, "he/him" for men, and (if considered at all;) "they/them" for non-binary individuals. Realisitically, many individuals [[Pronoun Non-Conforming|deviate]] from this convention. Some individuals prefer using neopronouns as an alternative gender-neutral pronoun set.
In some West Country dialects, the pronoun ''er'' can be used in place of either ''he'' or ''she'', although only in weak (unstressed) positions such as in tag questions. Additionally, in Essex, in the south-east of England, in the Middle English period, the spelling "hye" could refer to either he or she. More recently, in the city of Baltimore, and possibly other cities in the United States, ''yo'' has come to be used as a gender-neutral pronoun.▼
This could be to avoid singular "they" being confused with plural "they," because neopronouns express something about them or their gender (like [[xenogender]]s), or because they feel more comfortable using neopronouns over any of the standard pronoun options.

Both the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) and Wright's English Dialect Dictionary confirm the use of "a" in place of "he," "she," "it," "they," and even "I." It is a reduced form of the [[wikipedia:Old English|Old English]] pronoun, "he," meaning "he" and "heo" meaning "she".<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20100418022839/http://www.aetherlumina.com/gnp/history.html</ref> Some surviving British dialects still use this pronoun.<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20080630041424/http://www.bartleby.com/64/C005/004.html</ref>
▲In some West Country dialects, the pronoun ''er'' can be used in place of either ''he'' or ''she'', although only in weak (unstressed) positions such as in tag questions. These pronouns may not strictly fit the definition of neopronouns, as they developed naturally in the language and, as far as can be discerned, were not created by an individual with the goal of creating a gender-neutral pronoun. Additionally, in Essex, in the south-east of England, in the Middle English period, the spelling "hye" could refer to either he or she.{{CitationNeeded}} More recently, in the city of Baltimore, and possibly other cities in the United States, ''yo'' has come to be used as a gender-neutral pronoun.{{CitationNeeded}}
Various proposals for the use of other non-standard pronouns have been introduced since at least the 19th century. Ou was first recorded in a native English dialect in the 16th century. In 1789, William H. Marshall documented the use of ''a'', used by 14th century English writer, John of Trevisa, the existence of a dialectal English epicene pronoun, singular ''ou'': '"Ou will" expresses either he will, she will, or it will.' Marshall traces ''ou'' as possibly deriving from [[wikipedia:Middle English|Middle English]] ''a''.▼
There are several very similar sets of pronouns with the nominative form ''e'' which have been independently proposed over the last hundred years. The earliest known example may be created in 1890 by James Rogers of Crestview, Florida.<ref name=":12">http://www.english.illinois.edu/-people-/faculty/debaron/essays/epicene.htm</ref><ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20070310130020/http://aetherlumina.com/gnp/listing.html</ref> It was made in response to the ''thon'' set, and was derived from the ''he'' and ''them'' pronoun sets. This version does not have a recorded predicative possessive or reflexive form.
In 1977, a version in which all forms starts with capital letters was independently created by psychologist Donald G. MacKay of the University of California at Los Angeles. In 1989 an identical version it was independently created by Victor J. Stone, Professor of Law.
In his 1920 novel, ''A Voyage to Arcturus'', David Lindsay invented the ''ae'' pronoun set for an alien race, which were born from air and of a third sex. These pronouns are still somewhat well known on the internet.

Marshall traces ''ou'' as possibly deriving from [[wikipedia:Middle English|Middle English]] ''a''.
''Co'' was created by Mary Orovan in 1970. It is derived from the Indo-European ''*ko'', as an inclusive alternative to ''he'' or ''she''.<ref>http://www.english.illinois.edu/-people-/faculty/debaron/essays/epicene.htm</ref> Today, ''co'' is still used in some communities, such as in the legal policies of Twin Oaks in Virginia, which provides information on the pronoun in its visitor guide web page.<ref>https://www.twinoakscommunity.org/twinoaks-visits-60/visit-tour-intro</ref>
Several variants of ''ze'' have been proposed, with different object forms, to meet the need of unspecified gender situations and transgender persons. Kate Bornstein, an American transgender author, used the pronoun forms ''ze'' and ''hir'' in the book "Nearly Roadkill: an Infobahn erotic adventure" in 1996.{{CitationNeeded}} Jeffrey A. Carver, an American science fiction writer, used the pronoun ''hir'' in the novel "From a Changeling Star" for a different-gendered nonhuman, in 1989.{{CitationNeeded}}
In addition to an interjection and greeting, ''yo'' is a gender-neutral pronoun in a dialect of [[wikipedia:African-American Vernacular English|African-American Vernacular English]] (AAVE) spoken by middle school students in Baltimore, Maryland, the student body of which is 97% African-American. These students had spontaneously created the pronoun as early as 2004, and commonly used it. A study by Stotko and Troyer in 2007 examined this pronoun. The speakers used ''yo'' only for same-age peers, not adults or authorities. The speakers thought of it as a slang word that was informal, but they also thought if it as just as acceptable as ''he'' or ''she''. ''Yo'' was used for people whose gender was unknown, as well as for specific people whose gender was known, often while using a pointing gesture at the person in question. The researchers only collected examples of ''yo'' used in the nominative form, finding no possessive forms such as ''*yo's'' and no reflexive forms such as ''*yoself''.<ref>https://dc.etsu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=https://nonbinary.wiki/&httpsredir=1&article=1203&context=honors</ref>

|}"It" pronouns are sometimes not considered neoprominal, because the pronoun set is commonly used by transgender people and therefore could be seen as an excepted first person pronoun. However, outside of intracommunity transgender people, many people only use it pronouns for a human being in a derogatory fashion.
▲== Subsets ==
====Nounself====
''Main article: [[Nounself]]''
'''Nounself pronouns''' are a subset of neopronouns that are more directly based on words, often nouns.
=====History =====
It is unclear where the word "nounself" itself was first coined, although it may be on Tumblr because of the amount of popularity that nounself sets gained, starting in 2015.
=====Thonself =====
The earliest example of what could be called a nounself pronoun was proposed by by American lawyer Charles Crozat Converse in 1884. Converse took the words "this one" and "that one" and proposed ''thon'' as a gender-neutral pronoun set.American composer Charles Crozat Converse who proposed the pronoun set thon/thons/thonself in 1858.<ref>https://www.dynamicchiropractic.com/mpacms/dc/article.php?id=43422</ref> It was based on a contraction of "that one". The ''thon'' pronoun was included in some dictionaries such as Webster's International Dictionary (1910), Funk & Wagnalls New Standard Dictionary (1913), and Webster's Second International (1959). The pronouns are not widely used in the present day. In the 2019 Gender Census, 18 (0.2%) people said that they were happy to be referred to by ''thon''.<ref name=":0">https://gendercensus.com/post/183832246805/gender-census-2019-the-full-report-worldwide</ref>{{Quote|thon. Pronoun of the 3rd person, common gender, meaning “that one, he she, or it”: a neoterism proposed by Charles Crozat Converse, and apparently complying with the neoteristic canons, since it supplies an antecedent blank, obeys a simple and obvious analogy, and is euphonious.|—FunkFunk and Wagnalls, Supplement to A Standard Dictionary of the English Language, 1903|https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/third-person-gender-neutral-pronoun-thon}}For most of the 20th century, ''thon'' appeared in various publications of Funk and Wagnalls, and also spread to another dictionary, Merriam-Webster’s Second New International Dictionary (1934 edition). ''Thon'' was removed from abridged dictionary in the third edition.

===== Humanist Pronouns=====
Often called humanist pronouns, ''hu/hum/hus/hus/humself'' was used in several college humanities texts published by Bandanna Books and originated by editor Sasha Newborn in 1982.
=====Faeself And Others =====
One of the most commonly recognized nounself pronoun sets is ''fae/faer'', first seen online in 2013.<ref>https://genderheaven.tumblr.com/post/635251444970291201/pronouns-i-have-encountered-in-no-particular-order</ref>
{{Quote|Okay, so!
While "neopronouns" are typically used to describe third person pronouns, the definition of the word could also apply to alternate first person pronouns. These are not common, but alternate first person pronouns do exist and are used, which may or may not be related to being transgender.

[[File:Pronoun Path.png|thumb|alt=A screenshot of a Tumblr ask answered by mothpride. An anonymous user asks, quote, "Hi! I was wondering if you could do a lov/lovs (like from the word love) pronoun path flag? They're such a cool concept and I love them lots. Thank you!" End quote. The answer has two images of a lov/lovs pronoun flag, one with "Lov/lovs" written in a white, handwritten font. The flag is square, with a pastel pink background. Both the vertical and horizontal third quarters of the flag are colored, and their square intersection is colored raspberry red. The top part of the vertical strip is dark pink, and the bottom is fuchsia. The left side of the horizontal stripe is dark salmon pink, and the right side is pink.|An example of the "pronoun path" format for flags.]]
Like other parts of a person's identity, like their gender or orientation, flags may be made specifically for pronouns. Unlike other facets of queer identity, pronoun flags at large don't follow any real common convention. Flags for pronouns vary wildly in design, number of stripes, and symbols used. A pronoun flag format called "pronoun path" is used by Tumblr user mothpride. This refers to a specific design of flag that uses two overlapping stripes, with each flag being unaligned with any identity, just pronouns. The first example of this format being used was posted November 10th, 2020, and the term "pronoun path" was first used in another post the same day.<ref>https://archive.is/Da1c8</ref>
