Other comments: Abawiri (Foau) has only two basic numbers. The numbers three, four, five, ten and twenty seem to be used at least sometimes; the more complex numbers are theoretically possible but probably rarely or never used. Indonesian numerals have replaced all but the more basic numerals in actual usage, even though Abawiri language vitality remains very high and there is very little other borrowing from Indonesian. When hunting in the jungle, days are counted by tying knots in a strand of rope hanging from the roof of the hunting shelter.
Abawiri is a Lakes Plain language spoken in the Mamberamo River Basin in the northern lowlands of Papua, Indonesia. It is primarily spoken in a single village, Fuau, by about 550 people. The Lakes Plain languages have long been considered something of a curiosity by linguists specializing in Papuan languages. 
Abawiri is the preferred name for the language. Foau [fʷau] is the name of the village.
