Other comments: Nahavaq or Sinesip is an endangered language spoken at villages, about 600 speakers (Lynch and Crowley 2001), in Southern Malekula, Vanuatu. Nahavaq has a traditional quinary counting system up to 200. However, nowadays, only numbers up to 10 are still in common use, but numbers over 10 are more often expressed with Bislama numerals. I was not able to find any speakers who were sure of the traditional Nahavaq numeral system beyond 200.

Consonantsː

The five vowels =/i/, /e/, /a/, /o/, /u/.
