Other comments: Takia has a traditional counting system up to twenty. However, they only keep traditional Austronesian numbers from one to three. After twenty they use English numerals. Takia is an Austronesian language spoken by about 25,00 speakers on Karkar Island, Bagabag Island, and coastal villages Megiar and Serang, Madang Province, Papua New Guinea. It has been syntactically restructured by Waskia, a Papuan language spoken on the island.
Children are discouraged from using Takia, and it is being supplanted by Tok Pisin and English.

Other comments: Megiar may have a quinary-decimal system. Megiar is often wrongly classified as a dialect of Takia, but Peter Channel Darek of University of Goroka, Papua New Guinea said (2012) that it is a distinct language. The data for Megiar was incomplete, new data needed to fill in the gaps for higher numerals after ten.
