The standard forms in Polish are inkluzyjny (masculine), inkluzyjna (feminine), and inkluzyjne (neuter). The form inkluzyjn appears as a shortened or informal stem in headlines, social media, or labels, but is not typically listed as a separate dictionary entry. The concept is derived from inclusion, and is closely related to inclusive language and inclusive design.

Usage and domains include education, workplaces, public administration, media, and digital products, where inkluzyjn denotes efforts to ensure accessibility and representation, such as accessible pedagogy, non-discriminatory recruitment, or content that avoids stereotypes. In linguistics and writing, the phrases język ink luzyjny or język inkluzyjny refer to inclusive language choices that respect gender diversity, disability, race, and other identities.

Relation to broader movements: The term is part of broader diversity and inclusion (D&I) policies and inclusive design approaches that aim to widen participation and reduce exclusion. Critics note that the term can be vague if not defined by concrete standards or metrics; supporters argue it signals a commitment to participation and representation.
