      And how about Amigx? A-MEE-gecks?

      I tend to use that word in Spanish and pronounce it "a-MEE-ges," which is how I first heard it.

      So why not just amiges and make the pronunciation way less confusing?

      Because that’s not how the letter e is pronounced in spanish.

      This is a good question, Stefan! Some people do, in fact, spell it that was in Spanish. It’s just that I personally have seen amigxs a lot longer in Spanish (and in Portuguese, which I’m not getting into for now).

      Replying to @aurabogado @byVanessaNorth and

      I've always seen it written as "amigxs" or "amig@s" but it is usually pronounced "amigues" (the u is there for phonetical reasons, so that the g sounds the same). That x is very difficult to pronounce.

      Replying to @MiChiamanoLucia @aurabogado and

      yeah I couldn't find any other Spanish words where x is pronounced like ue in Spanish or e in English so it seems like a whole new interpretation is needed for latinx/amigxs to catch on...

      Hmm. So, there are *lots* of pronunciations for x; as a Spanish language speaker I’m letting you know that a lot of Spanish language speakers who do use the word and pronounce it as “ah-MEE-guess.”

      And that that pronunciation already exists and has already taken hold in various places without additional interpretation. We can discuss it, it’s use, its variations, it’s limits, etc—but the word exists and is being used.

      Good to know! English is full of arbitrary pronunciations so I guess nbd, I've just always thought of Spanish as much more strict in that way, but then again my knowledge is very limited

      You’re right! Formal Spanish is super strict and is essentially controlled by a group of people in Spain called the RAE who work under the protection of the royal crown to maintain its supposed purity. Actual irl Spanish is much more fluid ;)

          Yes, I can confirm that as a native Spanish speaker. 🙂Our "voseo" instead of the "tuteo" isn't in Spanish textbooks but it's completely installed in the culture.

          In portuguese we usually pronounce it as if it was an "-e" because in those words were the gender is defined by a or o the e is both pronounceable, gender neutral and friendlier towards reading assist devices for blind people. It has also become more common to write it with -e.

          Most languages are “living” things! It adapts with the times.
