Out of the group of Yokuts dialects designated by Kroeber as "Foothill Yokuts," Hometwoli was reportedly the most divergent.[2]


Name


Hometwoli means "Southerners" and is a variant of the term "Homtinin," used by multiple Yokuts peoples to refer to their southern neighbors.[3]


Phonology


Hometwoli is the only dialect of Buena Vista Yokuts with central vowel phonemes.[4]


Counting system


Hometwoli varies from other Yokutsan languages in its word for "six," which derives from the same word stem in all other dialects. The Hometwoli word for "six" shows similarities with the word for "nine" in other Yokutsan dialects and may suggest the presence of a base six system.[5]
