Other comments: Southern Alta or Kabuloan Dumaget has a decimal system. Kabuloan Dumaget is spoken by the Negrito people and they might preserve traditional numerals from 1 to 3, 10 and 20 only now and borrowed the Tagalog loanwords with phonological adaptation.
Southern Alta (also known as Kabuloan Dumagat, or Kabulowan, is a distinctive Aeta language of the mountains of northern Philippines. Southern Alta is one of many endangered languages that risks being lost if it is not passed on by current speakers. Most speakers of Southern Alta also speak Filipino.
Southern Alta is not particularly close to Northern Alta or to other languages of Luzon. Both Northern and Southern Alta have a significant proportion of vocabulary that is unique to each other, however, they are also very different from the other. Many Southern Alta also interact primarily with Tagalog speakers, sharing similarities between both languages. Tagalog is a more widely spoken language in the Philippines. As a critically endangered language, Southern Alta has very few speakers. Currently, Southern Alta has a population of 1,000 speakers.
