Public Comment
This figure includes estimates for Imonda, which is treated as a dialect of Waris by Laycock (1973), but, following Seiler (1985) is included as a separate language in the Catalogue. Indeed, Laycock writes: "The dialect spoken at Imonda is very distinct, and is regarded by Imonda villagers as a separate language."
