How to count in Kalamang, a member of the Berau Gulf group of Trans-New Guinea languages spoken on Karas Island in West Papua in Indonesia.
Some numbers can change depending on what is being counted, for example, one (bundle) = poupkon, one (round thing) = narkon, one (canoe) = mirkon, one (long, thin thing) = kieskon, one (living being) = epkon
