Other comments: Waris has a simple system with two words one and two. In the traditional culture, they would then switch to mindnam 'many'. In the present culture, they sometimes use the vernacular, and sometimes the New Guinea Pidgin numbers. The decision depends on various things, including what they are talking about, and to whom. Waris is spoken by 2,500 speakers in Wasengla area, Amanab district, Sandaun province, Papua New Guinea and Papua province in Indonesia. |
