Huli is a Tari language spoken by the Huli people of the Hela Province of Papua New Guinea. It has a pentadecimal (base-15) numeral system: Шаблон:Lang means 15, Шаблон:Lang means 15×2 = 30, and Шаблон:Lang means 15×15 = 225.

Huli has a pandanus language called Шаблон:Lang (bush divide taboo) used for collecting karuka nuts (Шаблон:Lang) as well as hunting or traveling.[1] Шаблон:Lang is used to evade malevolent bush spirits.[1] The grammar for Шаблон:Lang is nearly identical to normal Huli, but the vocabulary is changed, often borrowing words from Duna but with changed meanings.[1]
