Other comments: Northern Toussian and Southern Toussian are quite divergent.

The common name is misleading, as there is no mutual understanding.

Southern Toussian has a vigesimal system with five-base substructure. It seems there was a traditional counting is based on 80. There seems two different bases for 5,

one containing k͡p and one with k, as in klu '5', or the differences are due to historical phonological changes. The Numbers 1000 / 2000 have been translated as one / two goats or one /two cows. Northern Toussian have the two syllabic consonants / v/

and /z/ as phonemes, as in numbers kv̀v̀nə̃̀ŋ '6' , tz̀rə̀ '20 and others.
