Other comments: Arguni has a vigesimal system similar to that of Sekar, there are missing terms. New data needed. Erokawans is an endangered language spoken by about 150 speakers (Wurm 2000) in Arguni island in Maccluer gulf off northwest coast, Bomberai peninsula, West Papua province, Indonesia. |
