Other comments: Anindilyakwa or Enindhilyakwa, is spoken in Groote Eylandt, Northern Territory, Australia. This language is the only Australian aboriginal language has higher numerals over ten. The previously recorded numbers 20 from other source I have never heard myself. Therefore, I do not know if these are in use today.

Other comments: In traditional most of Australian Aboriginal society nothing used to be counted that was outside normal everyday experience. When asked for what purpose

counting was used in the old days, the old women who know the number names say that counting was used for turtle eggs. However, the number system in Anindilyakwa

is more developed that in most other Aboriginal languages. Dr. Peter Worsley, an

anthropologist who was on Groote Eylandt, suggested that contact with the Macassans

accounted for the development of number names beyond five, as it is normal in

Aboriginal languages to count either to three or to five. Since the introduction of English, English words have been used almost exclusively for numbers above five,

while both the Anindilyakwa and English words have been used for the numbers up to five and also ten. Today few young people know of the existence of the old Anindilyakwa words for fifteen and twenty, it is probably some times since these words were in use, but they are still remembered by middle-aged and old people. Numerals in Anindilyakwa are adjectival, the number names are 1 to 5, 10, 15 and 20.
