| The syllable structure is maximally (N)C(S)V(L), where N is a pre-nasalizing vowel which is homorganic with the following consonant, S is a semi-vowel (either '''j''' or '''w'''), and L is a final liquid, limited to '''m''', '''n''', '''ŋ''', '''l''', '''r''', '''h''', '''w''', or '''j'''.
| |
| Mid-syllable semi-vowels trigger palatalization, which changes d's to j's (i.e. /dʒ/). The labialized '''rw''' is actually /ɻʷ/. The palatalized '''rj''' is a tap.
| |
|
| |
| Possible initial consonant clusters are: '''mb''', '''nd''', '''ŋg''', '''mbw''', '''ndw''', '''ŋgw''', '''mbj''', '''ndj''', '''ŋgj''', '''bw''', '''dw''', '''gw''', '''bj''', '''dj''', '''gj''', '''hw''', '''hj''', '''ml''', '''lj''', '''lw''', '''rj''', '''rw''', '''fw''', '''sw''', '''zw''', '''fj''', '''mf''', '''ms''', '''mz''', '''mfw''', '''msw''', '''mzw''', and '''mfj'''.

| === Orthography ===
| |
| Yavona has a unique writing, which has been called featural. '''m''' is a single hump. '''n''' is a box. '''ŋ''' is a inverse-hump, a U. '''r''' is like a C, while '''l''' is the mirror image. A voiced stop is made with a horizontal strike through. Prenasalization is a diaeresis above. Labialvelarization is a ring in the middle or below. Palatalization is a vertical strike through. Ejectives are a dot below. Fricatives double up the nasal symbol. An X is the glottal stop. Double r is the Czech r. Double l is the French r.
| |
|
| |
| Word-medially and initially in West-African loan words only, there is the /gb/ letter, which looks rather like and asterisks. It cannot be prenasalized, labiovelarized, palatalized, or fricitivized.
| |
|
| |
|
| '''a''' is a triangle. '''u''' is a 7, '''o''' is one upside down. '''i''' is the top-left corner shape, while '''e''' is that upside down. Nasal vowels are diaeresis. Subscripts indicate coda consonants/semi-vowels.
