Other comments: Morori (Marori, Moaraeri, Moraori, Morari) is a moribund Papuan language of the Kolopom branch of the Trans–New Guinea family. It is separated from the other Kolopom languages by the intrusive Marind family. All speakers use Papuan Malay or Indonesian as L2, and many know Marind. A dialect extinct in 1997, Menge, is remembered from ceremonial use. Marori is spoken in Kampung Wasur, which in 2010 had 413 people (98 families) total and 119 Marori people (52 Marori families).

Morori has recorded traditional numerals from 1 to 4 years ago, not sure if they have a counting system similar that of Kuni-Boazi that has numbers only 1-3, and sometimes 5. New data for numbers after three is required.
