'''Numyut'''{{efn|замоз | '''Numyut'''{{efn|замоз нумючүн, ''zamoz numyuchün'' [[Help:IPA|[ˈzɑmoz nuˈmʲutɕyn]]]}} or '''Numyuchi''' is a [[w:Language isolate|language isolate]] spoken primarily in the region of Greater Numyutia, and is the native language of the Numyuts or Numyuchi people. It is the official and national language of the Socialist People's Republic of Numyutia, where it is regulated by the Academy of the Numyut Language (Ахадемe Замозүн Нумючүн, ''Akhademye Zamozün Numyuchün'', '''AZN''' or '''АЗН'''); it is also the ''de facto'' official language of the [[w:Anarchism|anarchist]] breakaway state Bokchun Commune. | ||
Numyut is written in both the Cyrillic and Latin scripts. The Socialist People's Republic only officially uses the Cyrillic script, but both scripts are taught in classrooms;{{efn|The level of proficiency in the Latin alphabet varies nationally; generally, Cyrillic is given priority, and in poorer, rural areas, Latin script proficiency is substantially lower though Cyrillic literacy remains fairly high.}} Latin proficiency and use has also found to be higher among younger working-class speakers, as well as in the Bokchun Commune. This article mostly uses Cyrillic throughout for consistency. | |||

Numyut has four allophonic consonants /ç, ʎ, ŋ, ɲ/: | |||
# /ŋ/ appears as an allophone of /n/ before /g/, as in енгу "or". | |||
# In a similar fashion, /ɲ/ also appears as an allophone of /n/ before /tɕ, dʑ/, such as in унчу [ˈuɲtɕu] "fox". however, /ɲ/ also occurs as a separate phoneme from /n/, such as between the words муна [ˈmunɐ] "four" and муња [ˈmuɲɐ] "low". | |||
# /ç/ appears as its own phoneme, but also as an allophone of /x/ before /bʲ, dʑ, mʲ, ɲ, pʲ, tɕ/, such as in бөхчө [ˈbøçtɕə] "bowl, container", ахпят [ˈɑçpʲɐt] "grandfather" and мехминла [ˈmɛçmʲinlɐ] "Wednesday" | |||
