Yalunka (also spelled Yalunke, Jalonke, Kjalonke, Dyalonké, Djallonké, or Dialonké)[2] is the language of the Yalunka people of Guinea, Sierra Leone, Mali, and Senegal in West Africa.
Instead, the language relies on clause order to define the grammatical function of each word.
For this reason, the linguistic concept of slots in the clause and phrase structure is effective in the description of the Yalunka language.
After the verb there are two different kinds of obliques, one occurring before and one after the /nɛn/ which is a particle shrouded in a respectable degree of mystery.
After the obliques there is another rather limber particle /nun/ and finally a whole class of colorful emphatic markers that bear a much higher tone than the previous words in the sentence.
