Wayãpi or Wayampi (Waiãpi, Guayapi, OiampÃÂ) is a TupiâÂÂGuarani language spoken by the Wayãpi people. It is spoken in French Guiana and Brazil.
In closed syllables, /e, o/ are heard as [, ].
Wayãpi is spelt phonetically based on the International Phonetic Alphabet, and not according the French orthography. The spelling uses the letter è for the close central unrounded vowel between i and u. E is always pronounced é, vowels with a tilde are always nasal (ã, ẽ, é, õ, à ©), ö is like the German O umlaut, and b is pronounced mb. All letters are pronounced.
