Other comments: Cayuga (Gayogo̱hó:nǫ’) is a moribund language with 236 speakers left in 3,000 ethnic population living in Ontario province: Grand River, Six Nations Reserve, Canada as well as USA. Cayuga has a decimal system similar to that of Seneca. Note that in a word like ska:t ‘one’, the k is actually pronounced as a g because it is followed by a vowel. The t is pronounced as a t in final position, but when it is followed by a vowel, as in tekhni:h it is pronounced as a d.
