Gender neutrality in Portuguese
Gender-neutral language in Portuguese is a recent strand of demands for greater gender equality and social inclusion between men, women and non-binary individuals. It can be divided into inclusive or non-sexist language, and non-binary or neuter language or neolanguage. Inclusive language aims to use existing words to include all genders, while neuter language uses new or modified words to accomplish this. Context. Most words in Portuguese have one grammatical gender, the masculine or the feminine. The creation of gender neutral terms and removal of gender markers aims to make non-binary people  feel included. Proposals. Agreement. One of the proposal is using metonymy, periphrasis and circumlocution following agreement, sometimes including the usage of people-first language, whereas the word "pessoa" () has feminine grammatical gender with no natural gender markedness, similar with the usage of no pronouns in English, a form of gender omission. Many nouns and adjectives are referred as "uniforms", which are words that can be used to refer to people of any gender, they are not necessarily neutral but are useful for an inclusive language. Section::::-x and @. Gendered suffixes, specially , are replaced with at sign or to neutralize words, such  as in "alun@s" (students) and "todxs" (everyone). These forms are not pronounceable, they are meant to be graphical, being criticized for not being readable by screen readers and seen as potentially ableist. Neopronouns. Portuguese neopronouns are a gender neutral approach to pronominal reference to living things, especially humans. They are neopronouns, i.e. a newly developed, intentional innovation of language (as opposed to natural language change). Depending on the ungendered neopronoun one identifies with (e.g. "elu"), there are various suggestions. See the below table with suggestions for various inflections of some neopronouns: Neolanguage. Neolanguage () stands for neologistic desinences, articles, nouns and  declesions along with pronouns. A form of neolanguage can be expressed with the words "amigues" (friends), "psicólogue" (psychologist), and "linde" (pretty) for example, using suffix. Usually, not using the article is recommended, however there are proposals for articles, such as "u(s)" and "ê(s)".
