'''Nounself pronouns''' are a type of [[neopronouns]] that are clearly derived from a preexisting word or words to be used as a gender neutral pronoun set. Any word can be turned into a pronoun set, so there are theoretically infinite sets of nounself pronouns. The word in question does not have to be a noun. These sets can be themed around concepts that have nothing to do with gender, such as nature, technology, or abstract concepts. |

Unlike other neopronouns, these sets are usually intended to be used by a small number of people who feel that these pronouns express something distinctive about themselves and/or about their gender. In these ways they are similar to [[Xenogender|xenogenders]] and [[Pocket Genders|pocket genders]], however, not all people who use nounself pronouns are [[xenic]] or use pocket genders. Anyone can use nounself pronouns regardless of their gender. |
|||
People who use nounself pronouns are sometimes called enespronominal, based on the English pronunciation "enes" of "ns", an initialism of nounself. |

==History== |
|||
Starting in early 2014, or late 2013, a community of non-binary people on Tumblr came up with the idea of "nounself pronouns" (some call these "otherkin pronouns," but not all using them are [[otherkin]]). Some of the earliest sets of nounself pronouns are the fairy themed set fae/fae/faer/faers/faeself, and the bunny themed set bun/bun/buns/buns/bunself. During 2014 and beyond, many sets of such pronouns were created, and many were adopted as the pronouns of particular non-binary people. |
|||
As of today the ''fae'' set is by far the most popular nounself pronoun set, with the ''bun'' set coming in a close second. |

The green and orange nounself pronoun flag was designed on April 25, 2020, by Geekycorn on [[Wikipedia:DevianArt|DeviantArt]]. |

The grey and brown flag was designed by Tumblr user Uncommongenders on June 5, 2018.<ref>https://uncommongenders.tumblr.com/post/174605594564/okay-so-i-wanted-to-make-hq-versions-of</ref> |
