There are many different pronouns used for second and third person in honorific speech. The rules for using them are mostly dictated by the distance between the two speakers, and, for third persons, the relative distance between them.<br/> Note that ''female'' and ''male'' is still a relic of traditional Chlouvānem society; nonbinary people, unless clearly towards the feminine end of the spectrum, are usually treated as women if they are of higher rank and as men if they are of lower rank. Also note that ''plural'' pronouns are also used for ''dual'' number. | There are many different pronouns used for second and third person in honorific speech.
