High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Yanomani are a large population of indigenous Amerindian people in South America. They reside in the Amazon rainforest, among the hills that line the border between Brazil and Venezuela. Due to the remoteness of their residence, they had remained largely uncontacted by the outside world until the beginning of the 20th century. This allowed them to retain several aspects of their culture that factors such as population explosion and growth in material wealth have eradicated from the rest of the world. As a result, the Yanomani have come to be one of the most widely studied groups by modern science. The word Yanomani means "human being" in their language. A United States anthropologist popularized its use as an exonym to refer to the culture and its people. The word is supposed to be pronounced with thorough nasalisation. As the phonetic sound 'ö' does not occur in English, there has been variation in accounts of how Yanomani is spelled and pronounced. Some anthropologists had published the spelling Yanomam , but because many presses and typesetters eliminate the diacritical marks, an incorrect pronunciation of Yanomani has emerged.
