Nywompa

"Why do the Yoba Odole speak differently from us?" "Because they keep the sacred law." "Should we not hear the laws we follow?" "We know what we need to to live rightly by the law." "Then what is it they say that we cannot understand?" "What they have earned the right to know."

Nywompa is the secret tongue of the Yoba Odole in order to keep and practice the law. The language is inseparable from the law itself in the minds of the Yoba Odole and is essential for maintaining the sanctity of the legal practice. Allowing those who have not spent a lifetime of training to even utter the true form of the law is blasphemous in their eyes.
Despite the prohibition on scholars undertaking any formal study of the language, linguists are still able to discern some of the nature of the language, though there are still infuriatingly large gaps that may never be filled unless a member of the Yoba Odole were to defect from their role and provide the information. For example, several linguists who have heard spoken Nywompa note that its phonology is similar to that of Nywoz, the common language of the region. No obvious loanwords have been discovered in the language leading many to theorize that it is an entirely constructed language. While no samples of written Mywompa have been acquired, those who claim to have caught glimpses of it say that it uses an entirely different script from Nywoz and bears no immediate resemblance to any known script, meaning the script was likely also constructed from scratch to keep the language obscured should documents be stolen or lost.
Nywompa remains a topic of hot debate among linguists as it is perhaps the only example of a living language that has not been decoded by academic community. Debates rage in lecture halls across the world's universities with more than one professor advocating hiring a band of mercenaries to kidnap a Yoba Dole in order to force them to reveal the languages secrets. However, to date, there has been no substantial progress on the deciphering of Nywompa and it is unlikely that any progress will be made in the near future unless something drastic occurs.
