The Yunyalīlta is a fairly unified religion in its core beliefs but, for it is often more of a philosophy rather than a religion in our sense, there are different currents depending on the area it is followed in; these currents mostly differ in rites and para-religious beliefs. Anyway, most followers, independent of their current, identify the Inquisition as the defender of the faith and, therefore, the Great Inquisitor (sometimes together with the head monk of the Vādhaṃšvāti Lake Monastery) as the ultimate religious authority.

In Chlouvānem, such currents may be termed either ''maidara'' (pl. ''maidarai''), also translated as "rite", or ''lāluṃra'' (pl. ''lāluṃrai''). While the two terms are often interchangeable in popular usage, they are not synonyms; rites vary even between areas following the same current, usually as a result of local cultural and/or religious syncretism; ''lāluṃrai'', on the other hand, are much more divergent and in many cases are formerly heretic, unaccepted currents that have since found agreement with the Inquisition and have been accepted as separate currents - the Mahārdimi current's history is quite emblematic in this aspect.<br/>However, the distinction is not that clear-cut: the Jīrandaši current, while extremely divergent and syncretic to the point that non-Chlouvānem scholars consider them to be Łoxvicʾay, and not Yunyalīlti, for most of its history has had a peaceful relation with the power of the Great Inquisitor and is more often termed a ''maidara'' rather than a ''lāluṃra''. | |||

* '''Mahārdimi''' (Chl.: ''mahārdimi lāluṃra'', ''mahārdimi yamei yunyalīlta''; adherents are usually termed ''mahārdimāveyi'', sg. ''mahārdimāvi'') is a current that traces its origin back to the philosophy and theology of Ūlarṣināvi Mahārdim ''Maṣkhūri'', a Dūṃthi philosopher from present-day Karvanijaiṭa (in the Northern Plain) who founded it in the year 3579<sub>12</sub> (5997<sub>10</sub>), which was for most of its history not tolerated and persecuted by the Inquisitorial authorities. Nevertheless, it got popular in its area of origin and especially among some non-Chlouvānem peoples like the Širbāghumi - which led to a tacit approval by the lay authorities of the Miś Bāniyār, who were often Širbāghumi. The Mahārdimi authorities finally agreed communion with the Inquisition in 373Ɛ<sub>12</sub> (6239<sub>10</sub>), during the reign of Coreleyāvi Usuvitturæn ''Kalikhūmpan''; the communion was then broken during the Nāɂahilūmi era, but was restored after her deposition. Today the Mahārdimi current is majoritary in the two dioceses of Karvanijaiṭa and Dāhuṭrijaiṭa, and is also followed by sizable minorities in a few other dioceses of the Northern Plain and in some areas of the Western Plain. The bishop of Karvanijaiṭa has a special authority to Mahārdimi adherents. | |||

* Chlouvānem Yunyalīlta ([[Chlouvānem|Chl.]]: ''chlǣvānumi yamei yunyalīlta'' or more simply ''yamei yunyalīlta'': it is the numerically and politically dominant current, followed in the Lands of the Chlouvānem Inquisition and in most of the scattered smaller communities, including ethnically Chlouvānem settlements across the former Kaiṣamā. It is not completely unitary, as liturgical rites vary across the area; however, there has been a considerable centripetal evolution since the Consolidation. Some local or ethnic variants, such as the Jīrandašumi Yunyalīlta, are peculiar enough that some theologians consider them to be separate currents. | * Chlouvānem Yunyalīlta ([[Chlouvānem|Chl.]]: ''chlǣvānumi yamei yunyalīlta'' or more simply ''yamei yunyalīlta'': it is the numerically and politically dominant current, followed in the Lands of the Chlouvānem Inquisition and in most of the scattered smaller communities, including ethnically Chlouvānem settlements across the former Kaiṣamā.

* Qualdomelic Yunyalīlta ([[Qualdomelic|Qua.]]: ''Junjălilta căiši Cwaldewmẹljăd''): it is the Yunyalīlti current followed in Qualdomailor and parts of the former Kaiṣamā - notably Leñ-ṱef and Ebed-dowa - and Ylvostydh in Greater Skyrdagor. | * Qualdomelic Yunyalīlta ([[Qualdomelic|Qua.]]: ''Junjălilta căiši Cwaldewmẹljăd''): it is the Yunyalīlti current followed in Qualdomailor and parts of the former Kaiṣamā - notably Leñ-ṱef and Ebed-dowa - and Ylvostydh in Greater Skyrdagor. | ||

* Holenagic Yunyalīlta ([[Holenagic|Hol.]]: ''qorhdof ê Nïunïa ê Ngâhlenaid''): it is the current of a small but influent minority in the southwestern part of Holenagika, which saw for some time in the second half of the 6th millennium and in the early part of the 7th one some Chlouvānem commercial outposts which became also culturally influent in most of the populated parts of the island. It coexists with Aselism, the typical religion of Western Calémerian countries, which has a particular, Yunyalīlti-influenced rite on the island. The community has seen some stigmatization and persecution in the last century, however, as the nationalist dictator Uiskehg Ohdsqoaihd <small>([ˈuʃkeː ˈojsqɔj])</small>, who carried out the three Northern Wars in Evandor and later allied with the Nāɂahilūma-led Chlouvānem during the deadly East-West Global War against other Evandorian countries, was a member of this community and built his ideology of Holenagic racial supremacy<ref>More properly, it was disguised as racial supremacy in order to gain the favour of all Holenagikans, not only Yunyalīlti ones, in waging war against other Evandorian countries; as with Chlouvānem suprematist views, there was otherwise no racial element, as it was the Yunyalīlti faith which was taken as defining factor of superior peoples. It should also be noted that Ohdsqoaihd declaring Holenagic racial suprematism would have gone against the views of the Inquisition, and that Great Inquisitor Kælahīmāvi Nāɂahilūma ''Martayinām'' herself did not hold Ohdsqoaihd in particularly high esteem as, as in traditional Chlouvānem society, only women were competent enough to be leaders (notably, it was Great Inquisitor Nāɂahilūma who had cancelled all steps towards equality of men and women that had been done in the Chlouvānem Inquisition during the previous forty years).</ref> basing it on extremist interpretations of Yunyalīlti themes. | * Holenagic Yunyalīlta ([[Holenagic|Hol.]]: ''qorhdof ê Nïunïa ê Ngâhlenaid''): it is the current of a small but influent minority in the southwestern part of Holenagika, which saw for some time in the second half of the 6th millennium and in the early part of the 7th one some Chlouvānem commercial outposts which became also culturally influent in most of the populated parts of the island.

In most countries of the former Kaiṣamā situated in Wírdaryȁngdé (the area between the Síluren mountains (eastern limit of Evandor) and the Skyrdagor Sea; ''Vīṭadælteh'' in Chl.), the Yunyalīlta was spread starting from their occupation in the Nāɂahilūmi era, just before the East-West Global War, and remained and intensified after the war when these countries were integrated in the Union - remaining nominally independent but de facto part of an unified, Chlouvānem-led country. The spread of the Yunyalīlta in all of these countries was mostly political, so that today these countries can't be said to be religiously Yunyalīlti - their native religions, mostly shamanist, still prevail - but (except for Taruebus, which is the least Chlouvānemized and least Yunyalīlti) many of their mainstream political beliefs are heavily Yunyalīlti-influenced, with at least one of the leading parties in each country representing Yunyalīlti Communism and five countries (Soenyŏ-tave, Kŭyŭgwažtov, Ebed-dowa, Enegen-tövön, and Haletyğyr) being still single-party, with only the local Yunyalīlti Communist Party (inherited from Kaiṣamā times) being allowed to exist. | In most countries of the former Kaiṣamā situated in Wírdaryȁngdé (the area between the Síluren mountains (eastern limit of Evandor) and the Skyrdagor Sea; ''Vīṭadælteh'' in Chl.), the Yunyalīlta was spread starting from their occupation in the Nāɂahilūmi era, just before the East-West Global War, and remained and intensified after the war when these countries were integrated in the Union - remaining nominally independent but de facto part of an unified, Chlouvānem-led country.
