Other comments: Biga may have a decimal system. I do not know the numerals higher than ten in any of the languages. Biga is a tonal endangered Austronesian language spoken by about 330 speakers (Arnold 2020) in Biga village, on south Misool island, Sorong district, West Papua province, Indonesia. Biga appears to combine both tone and stress (like Maˈya); I've marked both accordingly.

Other comments: Biga has a decimal system similar to that of Gebe. Biga is an endangered language spoken by about 330 speakers (Arnold 2020) in Biga village, on south Misool island, Sorong district, West Papua province, Indonesia.
Note that Biga may be a tonal language but not yet transcribed the tones and the traditional spelling 'c' = IPA [t͡ʃ], 'j' = IPA [d͡ʒ], 'ng' = IPA [ŋ].
