Other comments: Penchal has a typical "Manus type" Austronesian language decimal counting system with special structure for numerals 6 to 9 and but the formations for the tens 60, 79, 80 and 90 are similar to the Nauna language and different from that of the other languages in Manus Island. Penchal is spoken by about 1,000 speakers in Rambutyo island, Manus provice, Papua New Guinea. |
