Other comments: Buli has a decimal system. For number one: Buli has two cardinals for 'one'ː The first (-yéŋ) is an adjective ('one', 'single') that necessarily requires a preceding noun stem to which it can attach. The second numeral for 'one' (wà-ɲī) is syntactically independent. Buli is spoken by about 170,000 speakers in White Volta river area, Northern region and Upper East region, Ghana.
