Other comments: Lenapé or Unami Delaware has a decimal system. Note that stress regularly falls on the next-to-last (i.e., penultimate) syllable. Stops following a

stressed syllable are lengthened, e.g., [kʷəːtːi ]

Lenapé is originally spoken in New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania. There are

no fully fluent speakers of Lenape Delaware anymore, but the younger generation

of Lenapes has undergone a resurgence of interest in reviving the Delaware language. Today, however, some Lenape language activists are trying to combine the Unami

and Munsee languages into a single Delaware language to improve its chances of survival.
