Other comments: Asháninka has a basic 'one-two-three... many' counting system. Neologisms for numbers greater than five (1. aparoni, 2. apiti, 3.maba, 4.otsi, 5.koni, 6.tson, 7.soti, 8.iko, 9. tin, 10.tsa) have no real basis and therefore Guido Pilares and I strongly criticized that. On the above table, the second list is from dialect of Ashininka del Tambo.

Other comments: Asháninka or Asháninca is spoken by approximately 35,000 in Apurimac, Ayacucho, Cusco, Junin, and Ucayali regions: Apurimac, Ene, Perene, and Tambo rivers and tributaries, Peru. Asháninka has a basic 'one-two-three... many' counting system and, therefore, did not concern themselves very much with counting things (not even being able to give an accurate numbers of offspring). Nowadays, they have learned and adopted the Spanish counting system (not mixed with their own vernacular numbers), which they have learned through the bilingual school system. Note that the words for 'four' and 'five' were not universally, or always accurately employed. But the fist three were fairly solid.
