So this is random but the Sámi language is very complicated

How? Well.

The grammar.

Appearently the word "Son" is a pronoun. However, "son" is gender neutral. "Son" can be used as "she" or "he". Also "Su" is used as her. And "Son" is used as him

(In case you are wondering, the word "Daid" is They)

Usually when I read something in Sámi and they use "son" there is no context on the person's gender. I belived the last Time I read "son" with context was in a bilingual children's book in Norwegian and Sámi.

So this is a random fact but It's interesting so yeah
