Other comments: Bissa has a decimal system with special construction for numbers 6 to 9. Number 8 is a bit problematic but it perhaps goes back to a reduplicated form of 4. Number 9 seems to be a language contact caused innovation of 10-1. Bissa or Bissa-Barka, Boussanse is spoken by approximately 1,000,000 speakers in Centre-Est region and Plateau-Central region, Burkina Faso, as well as Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana and Togo.

The data was taken from Zigla Koulpele dialect in Burkina Faso.
