Phonology
Ying yeih is a monosyllabic language. Its one-syllable words can contain various diphthongs and even triphthongs, and some of its dialects have developed a tone system.

Consonants
Ying yeih has a relatively symmetrical consonant inventory, notable for its voiceless sonorants. All consonants except for /ŋ/ and /ɰ/ are allowed as onset, however only voiced sonorants /w, j, m, n, ŋ, ɰ/ eventually combined with the archiphonemic fricative /H/ can be used as coda. A [ʔ] (glottal stop) can also appear in coda position. /ɰ/ is often not pronounced, but it has a lengthening effect on the vowel of the nucleus. /H/ is usually realized as [h], however /jH/ is [ç] and /wH/ is [xʷ]. /dz/ and /dʒ/ are sometimes lenited to [z] and [ʒ], respectively. /r/ is often realized as [ɻ].

Vowels
All vowels can be creaky voiced.
