Other comments: Burunge has a decimal system. The numbers 'hundred' and 'thousand' are both loans from Swahili. Burunge is a Southern Cushitic language in the Dodoma Region, Tanzania spoken by the Burunge people, a small community of about 13,000 native speakers that live in the Northeastern region of Tanzania. The Burunge live in close proximity to other languages such as the Rangi, Gogo and Sandawe, and ultimately, their language and culture is endangered by dwindling number of speakers and absorption by larger tribes. |
