Other comments: Binumarien is spoken by approximately 1,200 speakers in Kainantu district, Eastern Highlands province, Papua New Guinea. The Binumarien counting system is thus a finger-and-toe tally system with two basic numerals and a set of directions for tallying. There is an explicit 20- or 'man' cycle invoked on the completion of tallying all the fingers and toes of one man.
