Other comments: Awngi has a decimal system. The second variant of 'one' is only used for counting. The other is used as the numeral adjective.
Awing is a Central Cushitic language spoken by approximately 48,000 Awi people, living in Central Gojjam in northwestern Ethiopia. Most speakers of the language live in the Agew Awi Zone of the Amhara Region, but there are also communities speaking the language in various areas of Metekel Zone of the Benishangul-Gumuz Region. Until recently, Kunfäl, another Southern Agaw language spoken in the area west of Lake Tana, has been suspected to be a separate language. It has now been shown to be linguistically close to Awngi, and it should be classified as a dialect of that language.
