The Yunyalīlta is a fairly unified religion 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.

* Chlouvānem Yunyalīlta ([[Chlouvānem|Chl.]]: ''Chlouvānumi yamei Yunyalīlta'' or more simply ''yamei Yunyalīlta'': it is the main 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. | * Chlouvānem Yunyalīlta ([[Chlouvānem|Chl.]]: ''Chlouvānumi yamei Yunyalīlta'' or more simply ''yamei Yunyalīlta'': it is the main 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 Leny-tḥewe and Ebed-dowa - and Ylvostydh in Greater Skyrdagor. | ||
* Bronic Yunyalīlta ([[Brono-Fathanic|Bro.]]: ''Trangá siYonye fa Baroánoa''; Fth.: ''Rhaŋá sheu-Yony fə-Fathəŋeu''): the current followed in Brono, Fathan, parts of southern Skyrdagor, most of Gorjan, and parts of the Chlouvānem area around the former Bronic city of Moamatempony—Måmatempuñih. | * Bronic Yunyalīlta ([[Brono-Fathanic|Bro.]]: ''Trangá siYonye fa Baroánoa''; Fth.: ''Rhaŋá sheu-Yony fə-Fathəŋeu''): the current followed in Brono, Fathan, parts of southern Skyrdagor, most of Gorjan, and parts of the Chlouvānem area around the former Bronic city of Moamatempony—Måmatempuñih. | ||

There are at least two other major currents from other areas: | ||

* Holenagic Yunyalīlta ([[Holenagic|Hol.]]: ''qorhdof e Njunja e Ṅoailnaigkäe''): 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 e Njunja e Ṅoailnaigkäe''): 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.
