Other comments: Miniafia Oyan or Arifama-Miniafia has a traditional counting system based on hand and person up to one hundred but David C. Wakefield (SIL-PNG) said (2006) that modern Miniafia Oyan people can only remember traditional numbers from 1 to 5, and numbers over five have been replaced by English ones now. Miniafia Oyan is spoken by about 3,500 speakers in Cape Nelson and Collingwood Bay, Tufi district,

Oro province, Papua New Guinea.
