Jñunda (Jñuunda, Jñunnda, Jnunda)

"Jñunda" is an alternate spelling of Ñomndaa, which is the indigenous name for the Mexican Indian language Amuzgo. Amuzgo "j" is pronounced like English "h," not like the j in jar. "Jñunda" and "Ñomndaa" are really the same word in two different Amuzgo dialects, meaning "water language."
