Other comments: Bukusu or Lubukusu is spoken by approximately 1,227,000. speakers
in Bungoma, Kakamega, and Trans Nzoia counties: south of Kitale, Kenya as well as Uganda. Bukusu has a decimal system. Bukusu adopted a numeral system mixing with traditional numbers with Swahili / Arabic borrowings. The traditional numbers retained areː ndala, tʃiβili, tʃitaru, tʃiraano, munaane and lííkʰumi. There are two sets of numerals after ten up to 90, but the borrowed numbers (first column) are more prevalent.
