Wano language

Wano is a Baliem Valley language spoken by the Wano people in Puncak and Puncak Jaya regencies of the Indonesian province of Central Papua.

As well as the monophthongs described above, Wano also has seven diphthongs: /i̯a/, /ɛi̯/, /ai̯/, /au̯/, /ɔi̯/, /ɔu̯/, and /ui̯/.

Here is the orthography used by Willem Burung on his works. These are not necessarily separate letters.

Inalienable nouns could be pluralized by suffixing -i (after consonants) or -vi (after vowels), while alienable nouns do not (similar to Indonesian, where pluralization is optional).[page needed] The inalienable plurals can be postposed with numerals (aburi kena "her two children").
