Maybrat language

 * ... that the Maybrat language of West Papua traditionally uses a base-5 counting system? Holton & Klamer 2017, p. 622.
 * ALT1:... that the Maybrat language of West Papua has an elaborate system of demonstratives which among other things distinguishes between specific and non-specific referents? Dol 2007, p. 7
 * ALT2:... that the Papuan Maybrat language has an elaborate system of demonstratives which differ in specificity, meaning and and syntactic function? Dol 2007, p. 7
 * Reviewed: exempt (this is my first DYK nomination)
 * Comment: I think the first hook is overwhelmingly more likely to be of interest to general readers.

 * Symbol voting keep.svg That's a really impressive rewrite! You should nominate it for GA and it'll be an easy pass. Article is new enough, long enough, and well referenced. Main hook is very interesting and supported by offline reference, accepted AGF. The other two hooks are a bit too technical. QPQ not required. No copyvio detected (AGF for offline sources). Good to go. -Zanhe (talk) 06:28, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
