Other comments: South Awyu or Sjiagha-Yenimu is spoken by approximately 9,000 speakers in Bade town area, Merauke and Mappi regencies, lower Digul river area, Papua province, Indonesia. Drabbe (1950) gives a very sketchy account of the numbers used in the Sjiagha and Yenimu dialects of Sjiagha-Yenimu and of Pisa. Sjiagha-Yenimu is the name Drabbe gave to the language spoken by Awyu clans living along the Sjiagha and Yenimu rivers. Drabbe just gives the words for 1 to 5 and the word for 10. More completed data needed.
