Other comments: Basketo has a decimal system. The numbers between 10 and 19 consist of tɑ́ɓɓɑ ́‘-teen’ (= the modifying form of tɑ́ɓɓɑ ’10′) and the numerals given above.

The numeral ‘twenty’ cannot be derived from ‘two’: 20: lamtam (LH)

All other tens, however, consist of a unit numeral as multiplier and tabb’a ‘ten, -ty’, e.g. 30: haizzi (LH) tɑɓɓɑ (HH), 40: oiddi (LH) tɑɓɓɑ (HH) … 90: saakali (LLH) tɑɓɓɑ (HH) ~ saakili (LLH) tɑɓɓɑ (HH)

The highest Baskeet numbers are: 100: ts’eeta (HL) or gabba (HL)*

1000: mukila (HLL) ~ mukula (HLL)

By experience, the higher numbers (i.e. numbers starting from 30) are generally expressed in Amharic, even by otherwise monolingual Basketo speakers. For price negotiations at the market, it is thus sufficient to know the Basketo numbers up to 20 and then to continue in Amharic.

Note on some orthographic conventions: ’ = [ʔ], z/zz = [z/dz], sh/ssh = [ʃ/ʃ:],

b’/bb’ = [ɓ/ɓ:], indicates a germinate bilabial implosive, all vowel-initial words start in fact with a glottal stop [Ɂ]. The tilde ~ introduces pronunciation variants.

* The first term is possibly of Gofa origin.

Basketo is an Afro-Asiatic language spoken by approximately 90,000 speakers in the Basketo special woreda of the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples Region, which is part of Ethiopia. The speakers refer to the language as "Masketo", while their neighbors refer to it as "Basketo."
