The Vayu language features SOV ordering. There are strong Nepali influences in its phonology, lexicon, and grammar. Its writing system uses the Devanagari script. There are no known monolingual speakers of the language, as its speaking population also uses Nepali.[1] Despite a lack of monolingual children, use of Vayu has survived into the 21st century [2]
