Other comments: Susuami is a nearly extinct Angan language spoken by a few speakers in Mangki village in the Upper Watut area, Morobe province, Papua New Guinea. A minority of the inhabitants of Magki speak Susumi, the remainder speaking Agaataha. The counting data were provided by village informants. There are two numerals and the meanings of the expressions for ten and 15 are not clear, but they appear to be phrases describing tallying.
