The Yimas language is spoken by the Yimas people of Papua New Guinea. It is a polysynthetic language with (somewhat) free word order. It is an ergative-absolutive language morphologically but not syntactically although it has several other case-like relations encoded on its verbs. It has 10 or 11 noun classes (genders) and a unique number system.
