Gender-neutral language, also called gender-inclusive language, is the practice of using words that don't give an idea of someone being female or male.Cognitive language learning strategies for example, the word "fireman" gives the idea that a person in that work is male.

If one is ready to use terms that didn't exist in the classical language (or had a different meaning then), but have nevertheless been in use for centuries (e.G. "Persona", "individuum"), it is possible to use a mix of terms of different grammatical genders and add other words as appositions aligned in gender in order to convey gender neutrality, e.G. "Homo filius", "persona filia" and "individuum filium" in order to express "child" (in the sense of offspring).Cognitive language learning strategies for "enby", "nebinium" has been proposed.
