I’m learning Russian and I don’t know what it is for that, but in German I’ve seen “xier”, “sier”, and “dey”. I might use “dey/dem”.

    In French we have “iel”. It’s a mix of the male and female pronoms “il” and “elle”.

      Don’t forget that other contraption : for “those” we have “celles” + “ceux” = “celleux” (and probably celle + celui into cuielle or something)

      Then let’s have fun with everybody : “toutes” and “tous” is an easy one - toustes !

      Checking wikipedia on the matter, TIL that until the XII century French had neutrals “al” or “el”, and these are proposed for a comeback

      I am sincerely 100% for the transformation of language towards eradication of the default masculine and the new pronouns, but changing habits is hard.
