Other comments: Bafanji or Bafangi is spoken by approximately 18,000 speakers in

North West region: Ngo-Ketunjia division, Balikumbat subdivision, southwest of Ndop on Ndop plain, Cameroon. Bafanji has a decimal system. The word 100 [ŋkɯɯ] also is the word for ‘rope/string’. [ŋkɛ̃ɛ̃] also is the word for ‘reɡime (of bananas)’. The [ji-] prefix resembles a noun class concord of which I have not fully investigated. From other related languages, it seems like it might agree in concord consonant with the noun class the head noun being counted.  I include [ji-] here because this is what is said when simply counting one to ten.  Also one can say this without the [ji-] prefix as well.  More investigation will be needed to see if one can continue in the series of 11-19 beginning with [tʃɥe ji-] (as in [tʃɥe jipɑɑ], [tʃɥe jitii], etc.). Tone: 3 is low, 5 is high.  These are rough phonetic tone.  Phonemic tone is unknown as yet.
