Phonology
Phonotactics

Almost all Wai'yung words are monosyllabic. Words appear in the forms C(w,j)V(C), with the possibility of an initial minor syllable Cə. Words with a minor syllable in front are considered to be "one and a half" syllables. Aspirated consonants, fricatives, and glides may not appear as final cononants.

Vowels & Tone
1. Only present as a reduced vowel formof [a] in minor syllables.

2. Dipthongs and the vowel [y] cannot have glides before them.

Alphabet
1. Because [j] is only found syllable initially as aconsonant, and [y] syllable medially as a rare vowel, and since [jy] /yy/ is an invalid construction, /y/ may stand for both phonemes.

Nouns and Adjectives
Nouns and Adjectives do not decline. All Wai'yung sentences require a noun. For example, if someone says "What should I do?" the answer cannot be simply "Run." but must include the subject : "You run." Nouns do not take articles, but definiteness and number may be established by placing "this/that" /ha/ and "plural" /la/ before a noun.

Adjectives follow nouns.
