Other comments: Lele is a typical "Manus type" Austronesian language, having a decimal counting system with subtractive element 'ndr' or 'ndor' in 7, 8 and 9. There are a list of numeral classifiers. People were much less certain regarding the forms, since the classifiers seem to vanish with Tok Pisin influence. Lele is spoken by 4,500 (Boettger 2015) in Lele-Bupi LLG, Manus province, Papua New Guinea. |
