In 1994, it was estimated that 80,000 people spoke Kuman, 10,000 of them monolinguals;[1] in the 2000 census, 115,000 were reported, with few monolinguals. Like other Chimbu languages, Kuman has rather unusual lateral consonants. Besides the typical {{IPA|/l/}}, it has a "laterally released velar affricate" which is voiced medially and voiceless finally (and does not occur initially).[2] Based on related languages, this is presumably {{IPA|/k͡ʟ̝̊/}}, allophonically {{IPA|[ɡ͡ʟ̝]}} (see voiceless velar lateral fricative). GrammarKuman is an SOV language. {{Expand section|date=December 2009}}References1. ^{{Ethnologue15|kue}} 2. ^Foley, 1986:63, The Papuan languages of New Guinea Further reading
