Other comments: Asumboa (Asumbua or Asubuo) has a decimal system. Aumboa is a nearly extinct language spoken by about 10 speakers in Asumbuo village Utupua island, Temotu province, Solomon Islands. Aslak said that now the Aubuo people did not remember any higher numerals after ten. Perhaps they were lost as Solomon Pijin took over many aspects of daily communication. |
