Other comments: According to Dr. Sue Holzknecht's old data recorded 20 years ago. Wampur people may have an old counting system combines a counting system based on two with tallying on hand and feet up to 20, however, nowadays, the traditional numbers beyond ten are seldom used. Wampur is spoken by about 500 speakers in the two villages of Wampur and Mirir in Onga-Waffa Rural LLG, Morbe province, Papua New Guinea.
