Other comments: Barai is spoken by approximately 3,500 speakers in Rigo district, Central province as well as Afore district, Oro province, Papua New Guinea.

Barai has a 2, 5-cycle counting system up to twenty.
"umui faɡue" means literally "hand - one" or "one hand".  "umui=hand, "faɡue"=one
'umui faɡue ro dikine besu"  means "one hand and one finger" meaning 6 "dikine"=finger, "umui faɡue ro ɡue" means "one hand and another (in this case ɡue means "another"). So that equals 10.

Note that b, d, g, z are all prenasalised, e.g.  ᵐb, ⁿd and ᵑɡ
