Unggoy often have names which reflect a language of very simple phonics. Common names, such as [[Yayap]] and [[Dadab]], begin with a reduplicated consonant and consist of two syllables. Other names typically consist of a single syllable with clusters of consonants, such as "[[Flim]]". Some exceptions have occurred of which a name has more consonants than is usual while following the first method of naming, as in [[Kwassass]]. Often, their names are palindromes, such as [[Zawaz]]. | Unggoy often have names which reflect a language of very simple phonics.
