Other comments: Cheyenne (Tsėhesenėstsestȯtse) or Tsisinstsistots, Tsitsistas is spoken by approximately 380 speakers out of 4,000 ethnic population in Montana: Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation; central Oklahoma, United States. Cheyenne has a decimal system. However, it might note that remnant of the old Algonquian system of numbers formation can still be seen in Cheyenne. For instant, 6 is built up as something like 1+5,  7=2+5, 8=3+5. There does not appear to be any such etymological connection between 9 and 4. The 10's ( 20, 30, etc) are constructed from the basic morphemes plus a suffix which indicates 10's, hence 20=2 x 10, 30=3 x 10, etc. There are several Cheyenne numbers sets for telling how many times, objects and so on. The above set is used for numbers of times but often used for serial counting. Basically, Cheyenne people can can count this way up to 2000, but it becomes increasingly difficult to find certainty or agreement among Cheyenne speakers for higher numbers. Typically, Cheyenne speakers will use English numbers for higher numbers, for instance, numbers above 100. However, some speakers still like to create the higher numbers in Cheyenne. It is recommended that, because of this present-day situation with the numbers, schoolchildren not be taught detailed numbers above approximately numbers 100. There were still option for number 1000 which can be expressed by '' nõ'ka vonóéstóne̊stóva''

Note that the following differences between traditional phonetic symbols and IPAː

There are only three basic vowels ( e, a, o ) in Cheyenne, they can be pronounced

in three ways: high pitch ( á, é, ó), low pitch (à, è, ò) and voiceless ( e̊, å, o̊ ).

The apostrophe ( ' ) is a glottal stop, = IPA [ʔ].

'h' and 'x' are voiceless glottal and velar fricatives, same as IPA [h] and [ x ], š = IPA [ʃ].
