Other comments: Bure or Bubure has a decimal system. Bure is an endangered language or nearly extinct language, they might use Hausa numerals for twenty, hundred, thousand and other higher numbers now. Bure, also known as Bubbure, is a West Chadic language. It is spoken in northern Nigeria in the village of Bure (10°31’06.16”N, 10°20’03.00”E, Kirfi Local Government, Bauchi State, Nigeria) and in some small settlements nearby. The language is used mostly by a very few speakers, of great-grandparental generation. Except for Hausa, which is lingua franca in the area, Bure is surrounded by other Chadic languages such as Gera, Giiwo and Deno (Bole group). Compared to other languages of the same group (e.g. Bole or Karekare), the endangerment of Bure is by far the most critical.
