Yinyuwa

General Information
Yinyuwa (natively Ynyua matam or Ytam [jiˈd̟äm]) is the second most spoken Diynmiroan language of the planet Patrona (natively Jidall [cçiˈdäl]).

It has many distinctive changes from Proto-Diynmiroan within the family. Yinyuwa lost final stops, prenasalized consonants, and grammatical case. Vowel hiatus became illegal resulting in consonantization and epenthesis. It also kept almost all of the Proto-Diynmiroan noun classes, yet lost many of their number distinctions. Compounding is favored more than derivational affixes.

Consonants

 * note: The digraphs ,  ,  , and  are reversed to  ,  ,  , and  syllable-finally.

Phonotactics
Words may begin with a vowel. Non-initial syllables however, must begin with a consonant. Words may not begin with laterals or rhotics. Words may end with any consonant except for stops. The only allowable consonant clusters are vowel-medial nasal-nasal clusters.

Stress
Stress is placed on the final syllable, with secondary stress on the first.

Classes
Where two prefixes are separated by a slash in the table, the first is singular, the second plural.
 * For any example referring to a living thing, the translation is not accurate. As Patrona is a different planet, the translations merely suggest a similar niche filled.

Possession
Possession is shown with possessive suffixes.
