My team visited the Huaulu Village last month and talked with some of the elders of  Huaulu village. When asked about how many Huaulu speakers there are, they said there were several villages with about 40 family leaders each. After doing some research online,

I found an article by Atlantic Press titled 

Gender Role in Farmer’s Household Case Study in Huaulu Village, North Seram Sub District, Central Maluku District, Maluku Province

Aphrodite Milana Sahusilawane, Esther Kembauw The research was done by two professors from Pattimura University of Ambon in Maluku Indonesia. They claim there are 273 households in the Huaulu People Group. The previous research by SIL from 1987 claims there are 300 Huaulu speakers so I think this should be updated. Thanks, Christian Hall

Dear Christian,

Thank you for this information on the speaker population for Huaulu [hud] in Indonesia and for the link to the article.

Would you have any idea of how many people 273 households would represent?

Blessings,
