| rdfs:comment | Ma'ya is an Austronesian language spoken in West Papua by 4000 speakers. It is spoken in coastal villages on the islands Misool, Salawati, and Waigeo in the Raja Ampat islands. It has both tone and stress lexically distinctive. That means both the stress and the pitch of a word may affect meaning. The stress and tone are quite independent from one another, in contrast to Swedish and Serbo-Croat. Out of all the 1236 Austronesian languages, there are only 15 with lexical tone. There are five dialects of the language in total, three dialects on the island Waigeo: Laganyan, Wauyai and Kawe and one each on Misool and Salawati, the prestige dialect being the Salawati one. The Waigeo dialects have /s/ and /ʃ/ where the varieties spoken on Salwati and Misool have /t/ and /c/ respectively. ('en' language string) |
