MadrileñoMadrileña

Madrileñomadrileña is a nonstandard compound demonym used in Spanish to refer to a person from Madrid. It combines the masculine form madrileño and the feminine form madrileña into one word, conveying inclusivity of both genders without repeating the noun. The construction reflects broader efforts to address gender in language, though it is not recognized by the Royal Spanish Academy and does not appear in standard dictionaries.

Usage is mostly informal and found in social media, blogs, and some journalism that aims to be gender-inclusive. In formal writing, writers typically prefer "madrileño o madrileña", "madrileños y madrileñas", or other inclusive strategies suggested by style guides, such as repeating the noun or using gender-neutral alternatives.

Madrid is the capital of Spain, and its residents are commonly referred to by the demonym madrileño for men and madrileña for women. The fused form is a stylistic creation rather than a separate identity, and it highlights how language evolves in response to concerns about gender representation.
