Welcome to SpanishDict, Ruby. I believe that's Swahili. - rac1, Aug 7, 2017
"Ya" as in Yankee," nah" as in nacho, "inn" as in Inn of the august goon. - ray76, Aug 11, 2017

I believe that's Swahili. -
Actually, from the look of it, I believe it is Houyhnhnm (ref. Gulliver's Travels). (Still no emojis in this forum? We need them badly!)
If I see this name written in a Spanish language context, I'd assume it is pronounced "Yah-nah -Ínn"

Well, yes... But how do you pronounce "NA" in English? And remember that the "h" is silent in Spanish. - Gekkosan, Aug 7, 2017
Oh it is? Ok. I went searching the internet and came up with Swahili. lol I see what you're saying now. :) - rac1, Aug 8, 2017
