Other comments: Irahuru has a quinary system. Twenty is expressed by 'one person'. However, the Irarutu people can count until ten maybe as of now, maybe the only one or older folks who can count until 100. Malay/Indonesian numbers have been used more often now. Irahuru is spoken by about 4,000 speakers in over 40 villages in Fakfak, north Kaimana, and Teluk Bintani regencies on east Bomberai peninsula, Arguni bay north to Bintuni bay southwest, West Papua province, Indonesia. |
