Other comments: Mufian (Muhian, Muhiang), or Southern Arapesh, is an Arapesh language (Torricelli) of Papua New Guinea. Dialects are Supari, Balif, Filifita (Ilahita), Iwam-Nagalemb, Nagipaem; Filifita speakers are half the population, at 6,000 in 1999. It is spoken in 36 villages, most of which are located within Bumbita-Muhian Rural LLG, East Sepik Province. It is also spoken in Supari ward of Albiges-Mablep Rural LLG. Mufian has recorded traditional numerals from 1 to 10 years ago, not sure if they are still using old traditional numbers or body tally after 10 or now use Tok Pisin numerals after 10. New data for numbers after ten is required.
