Other comments: Ambel (Waigeo) has a decimal system. For 1000 the Indonesian term /juta/ is much more commonly used).
Ambel is an endangered language spoken by approximately 1,600 people on the island of Waigeo in the Raja Ampat archipelago near the northwestern tip of West Papua, Indonesia. The Ambel population is shifting to Papuan Malay and few people born after the year 2000 have any knowledge of the language.
Note that Ambel is tonal. I am analysing the system as being an underlying two-way contrast, /H/ vs syllables unspecified for tone. I have marked syllables which bear
/H/ with an accent.
