Other comments: Chachi or Cha’palaa is spoken by approximately 5,800 speakers out of 9,300 ethnic population in Esmeraldas province: Cayapas river and tributaries (Canandé, Cojimíes, Onzole, Sucio, and others), north coastal jungle, Ecuador.

Chachi or Cha’palaa numerals have older elements of base 5 and base 20 systems, and have adapted Quichua numerals in order to create a base 10 system. For example, 5 glosses as “one hand”, 10 as “two hands”, and 20 as “one whole person” (2 hands/2 feet). Other numerals are built from these (ex: “one hand + two = 7” etc.). But for multiples of 10 above 20, the Quichua term “chunka” is used, and for multiples of 100, the Quichua term “patsak” has been adapted. There are no native terms above 1000, but Spanish terms can be used.
