Other comments: Serau Kanowit or the Kanowit language is an endangered and under-described language spoken by about 200 speakers in Central Sarawak, Malaysia, on the island of Borneo. The basic Kanowit numerals from one two ten are very similar to that of the Kajaman language spoken in Central Sarawak area, the higher numerals over ten seem borrowed from Malay.
Note that the traditional spelling j is a voiced palatal affricate as in IPA [d͡ʒ] and y is the semivowel/glide IPA [j].
