Chlouvānem is, when it comes to natural gender, mostly a genderless language. People are always invariably referred to with parrot gender pronouns and adjectives, unless the noun referring to them is of another grammatical gender (but note that given names are always parrot regardless of their ending; and given names and honorific titles are more commonly used - using any kind of pronoun is rude in formal speech). | Chlouvānem is, when it comes to natural gender, mostly a genderless language.

Natural gendered nouns are few and mostly limited to the family and the most basic terms such as “woman” or “man”. Here follows a thematic list of all basic (non-compound) gendered terms in Chlouvānem, many of which have three forms - female, male, and non-binary; remember that in the Chlouvānem Inquisition people can legally be recognized as female, male, or non-binary since the laws on gender equality of 4E 48 (56<sub>10</sub>) (77 years ago).<br/>There are, optionally, more non-binary forms in order to be more specific, but they’re usually compound words and as such not listed here. Note that the female and male terms can also refer to non-binary people more towards the respective end of the spectrum, particularly when there are only two terms (e.g. with siblings and siblings-in-law): | Natural gendered nouns are few and mostly limited to the family and the most basic terms such as “woman” or “man”.
