Other comments: The Asa (Aasá) language, commonly rendered Aasax (also rendered as Aasá, Aasáx, Aramanik, Asak, Asax, Assa, Asá), was once spoken by the Asa people of Tanzania. The language is extinct n 1952-1956; ethnic Assa in northern Tanzania remember only a few words they overheard their elders use, and none ever used it themselves. Little is known of the language; what is recorded was probably Aasa lexical words used in a register of Maasai, similar to the mixed language Mbugu. The Asa is usually classified as Cushitic, most closely related to Kw'adza. However, it might have retained a non-Cushitic layer from an earlier language shift. The Aramanik (Laramanik) people once spoke Asa, but shifted to Nandi (as opposed to Maasai). Aasax  has only recorded traditional numerals from 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 years ago, not sure if they were used a decimal system or other system.
