Other comments: Nopala Chatino (Chaꞌ jnaꞌa) or Chatino Oriental Bajo, Teotepec Chatino is spoken by approximately 8,900 speakers in Oaxaca state: Juquila district; Atotonilco, Cerro el Aire, San Gabriel Mixtepec, San María Magdalena Tiltepec, Santa María Texmaxcaltepec, Santiago Cuixtla, Santos Reyes Nopala, and Teotepec, Mexico,

Nopala has a vigesimal system similar to that of Tataltepec Chatino. The words from 16 to 19 are formed by adding the numbers 1 through 4 to a new base 15. There are Spanish loanword for hundred and thousand.

Notes for phonological transcriptions between traditional symbols and IPAː

a̜ = IPA [ã], u̜ = IPA [ũ], ʼ = IPA [ʔ], č = IPA [tʃ], š = IPA [ʃ]. 'ˑ' symbol express long vowels.

The u̥ and ḁ as in numbers 2, 4 and 8 are are voiceless vowels. In Chatino they seem

to appear between voiceless consonants. Number 2 is pronounced tu̥kwa. Number 4 is hḁkwa, also voiceless vowel between two voiceless consonants. The way we write these words in Chatino is tucua and jacua, following the Spanish alphabet as the Chatinos have chosen.

The way we write 9 and 10 in Chatino is caa and tii. Number 15 is pronounced 'tñų written in Chatino as 'tñun. It begins with a glottal stop and then a t followed by a palatal n, called eñe in the Spanish language, followed by a nasalized u. The Chatinos have chosen to write nasalized vowels followed by the letter n, possible because all words end in a vowel or glottal stop. As far as the number 70 it literally says, three twenties plus ten, and 90 is 4 twenties plus 10. The word before last is has an affricate symbolized with the letter c (sometimes written with a slash through it), this is written in Chatino as two letters together ts, hence we write ntsu'hui.  The other affricate in Chatino is expressed by a <č>, this is written as ch as in the number 12 tichcua (ten with another two).

I will write the numbers as we write them.
