Nyamal language

Nyamal is an Australian Aboriginal language spoken by the Nyamal people in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

Vowels /a, i, u/ often appear as [ə, ɪ, ʊ].

Nyamal has a typologically rare system of kinship terms. The kinship terms in Nyamal identify the sex of the relative, the generation they belong to (relative to the speaker), as well as their moiety, but not the more specific relationship. For example, the father and the father's brother are identified with the same kinship term, mama.
