"For a total population count, the team combined the projected population for Siamatai (139) with the reported population for Niuniuiai (42) and Natamou (50), due to the confidence with which interviewees gave the population estimate in Niuniuiai and the large discrepancy between the projected population and the reported population in Natamou."

"The only school inside the Amara language area is the Siamatai elementary school. This lack of access to schools in the language area pushes the Amara people to meet the educational needs of their children by sending them outside the language area where they are exposed more intensely to neighbouring vernaculars." "High internal prestige is found in Siamatai where the language is still vital. Low internal prestige and faint sentimental attachments to the language are resulting in ongoing language shift in Niuniuiai and completed language shift in Natamou." "...[M]ales and females of each age group are actively bilingual in Bariai, Maleu-Kilenge, and Tok Pisin."
