Other comments: The Bugotu or Bughotu numeral system is based on a decimal system and is similar to many Oceanic languages. Bugotu historically has separate lexical items for hundred, thousand, ten thousand 'mola', hundred thousand 'feferi', million 'vuthera' and ten million 'vatheɣila'. People no longer use the numerals over thousand (toɣa) however and instead use the Pijin numerals. Bugotu is spoken by about 4,000 speakers in  southeast end of Santa Isabel island, Isabel province, Solomon Islands.
