Specific Languages that I'd be interested:

Jarai are disyllabic with the stress on the second syllable. Jarai has further evolved in the pattern of Mon–Khmer, losing almost all vowel distinction in the initial minor syllable. While trisyllabic words do exist, they are all loanwords.

Walser German is part of the Highest Alemannic group. Because the people who speak Walser German live in the isolated valleys of the high mountains, Walser German has preserved certain archaisms retained from Old High German which were lost in other variants of German. Pomattertitsch is a dialect within Walser spoken in the town of Formozza.
The total number of speakers in the world estimated at 22,000 speakers (as of 2004), of whom about 10,000 are in Switzerland.
The ISO number for Walser is ISO 639-3.
