Consonant combination - 'ny' (palato-nasal) combine 'n' and 'y' while top of tongue touches hard palate plus nasal vibration. (Avoid the English 'nee' as in 'many') - 'ty' (palatal stop) - combine 't' and 'y' while tip and blade of tongue touches hard palate and stops the breath. (Note: 'tch' is close but different to 'ty'.)  (Avoid the English 'tee' as in 'city'.), - 'ng' (velar-nasal) combine 'n' and 'g' while back of tongue touches soft palate plus nasal vibration.

Sentence with three verbs.  The head word is 'nyaka' (to see) with the 'anda' (I) ending. The next verb 'nyenggang' (sitting) is 'nyengga' (to sit) with the 'ang' (happening now ending). The sentence ends with 'wika' (to die) with the 'already happened', or past participle ending 'ən'. Locative ending - 'piyal' (branch or tree) has the locative ending '(k)al' to indicate that the action (sitting) happens on the branch - 'piyalkal'

If 'nyakanda' means 'I see' and 'nyakinanda' means 'I saw', how would you say 'I chased away three butcher birds sitting on the track.'?

(You can find the tense (when the action happens) endings on page 5 and 6 of the Bound Forms resource.)
