Other comments: Arawak or Lokono Dian, Arahuaco is spoken by approximately 2,500 speakers in Commewijne and Para districts: villages from coast to 30 km inland, mainly on the savanna, Suriname as well as French Guiana, Guyana and Venezuela. The traditional Arawak counting systems in Suriname used a combination of base-five, base-ten, and base-twenty numbers. The numbers one through four, aba, bian, bakyn, and bithi, are primitives. 'Five' (a)badakhobo is a combination of aba 'one', and da-khabo 'my hand'. 'Six' through 'nine' are built using

the first four numbers plus thian (no known meaning). 'Ten' is bian-da-khabo 'two-my-hand'. 'Twenty' is aba loko 'one man'. All other numbers are composed of combinations of these terms. Although this counting system exists, it is used mostly for the numbers one through nineteen, at least in Suriname; the Dutch numbers are rapidly replacing the Arawak numbers for counting beyond nineteen.

Note /ř̩/ is a retroflexed apical flap (tip of the tongue slightly curled back and flipped
forward with a brief contact of the alveolar ridge) and contrasts with /r̃/, an apical tap
or trill.

Noteː Orthographic symbols corresponding to phonemes are in single quotation marks.
Americanist phonetic symbols are used.
