Other comments: Different from other languages in Yapen Islands which have a vigesimal system, Pom has developed a decimal system now. No phonological investigation was made. Informant was not able to count from 100 onwards. Informant originates from Pom village. In general, West Yapen languages are ill-described. I think I am the first linguist to collect any data since J.C. Anceaux in 1961 (The Linguistic Situation in the Islands of Yapen, Kurudu, Nau and Miosnum, New Guinea, VKI 35). Many people in the region do not learn to speak their native tongue. Pom is spoken by about 2,000 speakers in Pom and nearby villages on Yapen island, from Pon bay west to Woko point; some on east Num island, Papua province, Indonesia.
