Jake Penny and Miles Wronkovich are the co-hosts of Let’s Have a Bouba, a constructed language venture geared toward an LGBTQ+ audience. They have begun creating languages together since they had met through the LangTime Studio community, while Jake has also produced the unused conlang Pankashku for Sony’s Madame Web. Outside of conlanging, Jake is a postgraduate student who enjoys travelling from Fiji to Tokyo, cooking colourful curries, and sitting down for a cuppa to watch the newest episode of Drag Race. Miles has previously taught high school chemistry, enjoys long drives through the open countryside, and is an avid follower of the English Football League and supports Fulham FC.
Presented here is a grammar of the constructed language, Yaatláw, an isolating VOS language with prominent use of noun classifiers and serial verb constructions. An overview of the development and diachronics from the Yaacháy language (its proto-language) to the modern Yaatláw branch, its nominal and verbal morphosyntax, and a few fun phrases can be found within the contents of this document.
