Nayohbuk speakers also tend to pronounce /l/ as [ɾ], and addressing one another as ''púno'', a shortened form of ''puhúno'', is more common than in standard Nawuhu.

====Napunoko====
'''Napunoko'''(Nawuhu: ''na’a punoko’o'', lit. "boy-lover talk"), also called '''Nakupíno''', is the slang of Nawuhu-speaking gay and LGBTQ+ people(often called ''Wuhíno''s for short).


Though it is mostly Nawuhu-based, feauring a lot of rhyming slang and other plays on words, it has also been influenced by Polari, the gay slang used in the United Kingdom, most likely brought to Wuhu Island by sailors of the British Merchant Navy who were temporarily stationed there between 1972-1979.
