Other comments: Araki is a highly endangered language. Araki was reported in

'Ethnologue' still has 8 native speakers, it is progressively being replaced by the neighboring language of Tongoa. The rest of the population of Araki island have a passive knowledge of Araki language. Dr. Alex François said (2004) that only one fluent speaker left.  Arkai language has a decimal system and some interesting ''Linguolabial'' or ''apicolabial'' sounds as happened in numbers 4 <ari>, 5 <lim̼a> and 7 <haip̼iru>.
