Other comments: The modern Najamba-Kindige counting system is decimal. There are

archaic forms for 40, 50, 70, 80, 90 and 100. They borrowed Fulfulde number 100 'tɛ́ːmɛ́dɛ́rɛ̀'.

Najamba-Kindige (aka Bondu So); thought to be a single language with much dialectal diversity, but Kindige has not yet been studied in depth. Najamba is the local name for the language in several villages in a large canyon beginning just east of Douentza and ending at the huge central Dogon plateau (villages include Kubewel and Adia). Kindige is the local name for the dialects spoken along the highway running west from Douentza (separated from Najamba by a long inselberg and then by the plateau). Najamba-Kindige people are called Bondu by neighboring ethnic groups. Updated data needed.
