We propose a new model where the Dirac mass term for neutrinos, the Majorana mass term for right-handed neutrinos, and the other new fermion masses arise via the spontaneous breakdown of the $\mathrm{U}(1{)}_{\mathrm{B}\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{L}}$ gauge symmetry. The anomaly-free condition gives four sets of assignment of the $\mathrm{B}\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{L}$ charge to new particles, โ€ฆ
