Other comments: Burushaski has a vigesimal numeral system. Burushaski is spoken in three dialects in Hunza, Nager & yasin valleys of Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan. A minority community in Sri Nager India speaks the Nager dialect of Burushaski. (in each cell, divided by a comma, the first item goes with actions, second goes with non-human object including animals, third item goes with humans. I have used Indic script instead of IPA, hope this works. An accent mark on vowel means it bears stress. Hyphen between words in a number is optional, I have used the accent mark only once for repeated words). |
