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.

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. | ||
