What are the pronouns they/them in your language?

I'm learning Russian and I don't know what it is for that, but in German I've seen "xier", "sier", and "dey". I might use "dey/dem".

Swahili has 10 different "genders," called "noun classes" or "ngeli," and none of them correlate with sex. Instead, the third-person singular pronouns are:

he/she and him/her: yeye
his/her: wake
