names & pronouns guides
check the "jump to" menu if you're looking for something specific!
as a rule of thumb, i prefer language that is explicitly outside the binary (especially non-anthrogender), and even better if it refers to non-human entities :)
names
- "crow&" (any langage; preferred forms below)
- english: crow& [/kroʊ/]
- español: cuervo& [/kweɾβo/]
- ελληνικά: κοράκιϗ [/koɾaki/]
- toki pona: ijo [_waso+pimeja] [/idʒɔ wɑsɔ pimedʒɑ/]
pronouns
english
- fey/feyr
- it/its
- 🦷/🦷s
- subj: 🦷 | obj: 🦷 | pos: 🦷s | posprn: 🦷s | ref: 🦷self
- not used when speaking/text only
- "🦷 is usually called crow! if you asked 🦷, though, 🦷'd say 🦷s name can be crow in any language! this site is 🦷s, and 🦷 coded it 🦷self!"
- never use he/she/they in any context. most nonstandard pronouns are fine.
español
please address me& as "tú" or "vos," you don't need permission to use them! only use "usted" when talking about me/my work in a more professional context.
i'm uruguayan and therefore speak in the rioplatense dialect, but i've provided the pronunciations in LatAm spanish (you're welcome).
- elle/le
- never use ella/la/-a or ellx/lx/-x. using el/lo/-o in a gender neutral context is acceptable but not preferred
other languages
- please use the standard gender neutral, non-gendered, or mixed-gender pronoun. if none exist, use the standard genderless object pronoun. if that also doesn't exist, any non-binary neopronoun works.
honorifics & titles
generally, assume my title is the gender neutral honorific for a young person in a language. listed in order of preference!

lanték/charrúa
i seriously doubt i'll run into anyone who speaks a charrúan language fluently, so these terms are for use in any language.
- inchala (lanték for 'sibling')
- call me this as a relation or title: charrúa, chaná, guaraní, and/or arachan.
- call me this as a title (ie "inchala crow") & ask otherwise: native turtle islander, amerIndian, or otherwise indigenous to abya yala.
- ask to call me this: indigenous and/or Black.
- i will actually kill you if you call me this: white or a latine who isn't also in one of the above groups.
