Other comments: Serui-Laut or Arui has a quinary-vigesimal counting system. The word ''pyarei'' is derived from ''one person''. Note that the people of Arui make distinction between dead objects (including plants/vegetation/vegetables), first set and living creatures (men and animals), second set in counting numbers 1-5. This distinction is the foundation for counting the higher numbers. Numbers 1 to 5 as well as number 10 are written with one word; 6-9 with three words, meaning ‘5 and 1’, ‘5 and 2’ etc. Serui-Laut is an endangered language spoken by about 1,000 speakers in some villages Serui town area on Yapen island south coast, Papua province, Indonesia, |

Other comments: Serui-Laut has a quinary counting system different from that of most languages in Yapen Island. data collected in Serui. No phonological investigation was made. Informants were not able to count from 100 onwards. Informants originate from Serui-Laut village. The set marked by * is used to count people 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. Serui-Laut is an endangered language spoken by about 1,000 speakers in some villages Serui town area on Yapen island south coast, Papua province, Indonesia, |
