Datapoint Diu Indo-Portuguese/Gender distinctions in personal pronouns

The gender distinction in 3rd person singular independent pronouns is clearly attested, but often not enforced in actual speech. In those cases, the form usually referring to male referents is used by default; if context and deixis are disregarded, therefore, ɛl is always unambiguously feminine while el is unclear.
Gender distinctions in 3rd person plural are even less common, but occasionally speakers will use ɛ(l)z for 3pl; in all other instances, the default pronoun e(l)z, unspecified for gender, is employed.
