Other comments: Yaur has a quinary, vigesimal system. The word for number 5 'βrajarie' might be derive from 'arm', (compare βraʔuɡʷaje ''arm'')'; ten is ''eʔraʔeʔre'' and twenty is expressed by ''jomno rebe'', literally meansː ''one person''. Yaur is one of the few tonal Austronesian languages in Papua area, Indonesia, but the transcriptions for Yaur tone are not very reliable -- it's been very hard to elicit the tones. The Yaur tones and vowel length have not marked. Please note the differences between IPA and orthographic spellings. 1. <v>=IPA [β], 2.<ng >=IPA [ŋ], 3. <gw>= IPA [gʷ], < j >= IPA [d͡ʒ]. Yaur is spoken by about 350 speakers in Nabire regency, west Cenderawasih bay, Papua province, Indonesia. |
