===Pronouns=== Middle Dutch pronouns differed little from their modern counterparts. The main differences were in the second person with the development of a [[T-V distinction]]. The second-person plural pronoun ''ghi'' slowly gained use as a respectful second-person singular form. The original singular pronoun ''du'' gradually fell out of use during the Middle Dutch period. A new second person plural pronoun was created by contraction of ''gij/jij'' and ''lui'' ('people') forming ''gullie/jullie'' (literally, 'you people'). {| class="wikitable" ! rowspan="3"| || colspan="5"| Singular || colspan="3" | Plural |- ! rowspan="2"| 1st || rowspan="2"| 2nd || colspan="3"| 3rd || rowspan="2"| 1st || rowspan="2"| 2nd || rowspan="2"| 3rd |- !
