The Yennodors are an ethno-linguistic group in Lower Boroso. They are primarily identified by their use of a Yennodorian language, of which the largest are Trunaomatian, Heoroman, and Hantruzan. The Yennodors are one of the largest group of peoples within Lower Boroso, and millions of people identify as belonging to one of the ethnicities commonly associated with being Yennodor.

The Yennodor peoples began to diverge rather recently, and the Yennodorian language family remained a continuum of dialects well into the eleventh century. Up until the early twentieth century, it was common to consider the Yennodor people a cohesive whole, though since the Heoroman Revolution it has been considered increasingly impolitic to refer to the Yennodor peoples as such. Even today, however, there exist certain pan-Yennodorian movements, though these groups are a fraction of the size they were in the mid-nineteenth century. These movements are particularly popular in Yaxarhayut, the home of the largest Yennodorian population.

The Yennodors are first recorded as migrating down the Yennodorian Gap in the late ninth and through the tenth century, displacing the Yaharan peoples who had lived in the area before, and, eventually, intermixing with them. The language family appears to have begun diverging around the area of Lake Maddam, though few Yennodorian languages still exist in the area today. By the thirteenth century, the Yennodors roughly arrived at the distribution they hold today, though there have been some modern migrations, such as the population exchanges held at the end of the Great Ekuosian War between Upper Yahara and Heoroma along the Zilnhara river.
