Language spoken in Brazil From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ỹaroamë, or Jawari (Jauari), is a language spoken by the Yanomami people in southern Roraima state, Brazil.[2] It was only recently recognized as a distinct language.
Its name Jawari (Yawari, Joari, Yoari, etc.) is shared with the Ninam language.
The inventory per Ferreira (2011):[3]
/t͡ʃ/ and /ɲ/ are cognate to the oral and nasal allophones of /j/ in Yanomam; for this reason they are written ⟨y⟩ and ⟨ỹ⟩ in Yaroame.
