Other comments: Balanta-Ganja has a decimal system with special substructure for 7 to 9. The numbers for 100 and 1000 might be loanwords from neighboring languages. Prefix agrees with class of noun counted. 'aa'' and 'ii' are lengthened and tight vowels. 

Balanta-Ganja  is spoken by approximately 116,000 speakers in Sédhiou region: north of the Casamance river between Sindina and Sédhiou, south of the river between Mangakounda Goudomp and Tanaff, and south to the Guinea-Bissau border.
