Comments on speakers
"[Papapana is used] around the villages among Papapana speakers, or between Papapana speakers if they are out and about. In church very occasionally there are songs in Papapana. At school in year 1 only, Papapana is taught like a L2 (second language) for an hour a day. Sometimes also used for numbers and objects in maths or science classes in year 1."
