'''Archaeopronouns''' also known as ''' |
'''Archaeopronouns''', also known as '''paleopronouns''', are third person [[pronouns]] and forms of pronouns that were used in languages that are no longer spoken. However, some [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] people may reclaim them and use these pronouns to express their gender. One possible reason for using archaeopronouns is because one's language does not have gender neutral pronouns, but at one point did. |

An example of an archaeopronoun is Classical Chinese "其", used by some Chinese non-binary people. |

Unlike neopronouns, which are typically (intentionally) gender neutral, archaeopronouns may be gendered, though archaeopronoun users may choose to disregard the gender of these pronouns. Due to coming from extinct forms of a language, archaeopronoun might not always fit cleanly into the modern language's grammar, so alterations may be necessary. |
