Other comments: Belanda Viri or Biri, Bviri is spoken by approximately 73,000 speakers in Western Bahr al Ghazal state: Jur River county and Western Equatoria state: Ibba and Tambura counties, South Sudan. Belanda Viri has a quinary-vigesimal system similar to that of Ndogo. Twenty is literally 'kill-person-one', presumably, by having his hands and feet cut, totaling thus 20 'fingers and toes'. The 'Umlaut o ö' is a central, rounded, half-open (between high and low) vowel, The 'Umlaut i ï' is a front, unrounded, open vowel.
