Other comments: Mapos Buang or Central Buang has a vigesimal system with three numbers and number words expressed by hands and persons. 4 = 2 + 2; 5 is ‘half our (incl.) hands; 6–9 is half our hands plus 1, 2, 3, 4; 10 is ‘our two hands', and so it goes on 20 is a complete person. 'thousand' is a Tok Pisin loanword. Note that on the above table, all these numbers are possible, the more complex ones would rarely be used unless there were some special reason to be specific. Even then, they would mostly use English (Tok Pisin) these days. Mapos Buang is spoken by about 10,500 speakers in Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea. |
