-'''Neopronouns''' are any set of singular third-person [[pronouns]] that are not officially recognized in the language they are used in. Neopronouns are typically created with the intent of being a gender neutral pronoun set. In English, and many other [[wikipedia:Indo-European languages|Indo-European languages]], third-person pronouns can be [[wikipedia:grammatical gender|gendered]]. In English, "she/her" is most often used by women, "he/him" most often by men, and "they/them" by non-binary people. However, some people [[crosspronominal|deviate]] from this convention.

 Some people prefer using neopronouns as an alternative gender neutral pronoun set. This can be because they want to avoid singular "they," being confused with plural "they," because neopronouns express something about them or their gender (like [[Xenogender|xenogenders]]), or because they feel more comfortable using neopronouns over any of the standard pronoun options.
