Looks like this language has been confused with varieties of Wetarese on Ethnologue. Population may therefore be wrong. — kwami (talk) 01:17, 25 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Same opinion like you, but where did you read, it would be aBunak dialect? --J. Patrick Fischer (talk) 20:53, 27 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Located in the Bunak area and reported to be Papuan. But no direct evidence, which is why I tagged it. — kwami (talk) 09:31, 28 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Bunak is the geographically closest Papuan language, but does not even neighbouring the areas of Adabe speakers. Same with Austronesian Wetarese.
