Other comments: Lowland Oaxaca Chontal (Lajltyaygi) or Huamelula Chontal is a nearly extinct language spoken by approximately 1,280 speakers in Oaxaca state: Tehuantepec district, San Pedro Huamelula and Santiago Astata, Mexico.

Like many Mesoamerican languages, Lowland Oaxaca Chontal has a number system based on 20. That is, there is a monomorphemic lexical item for 20, and the rest of the numbers are expressed as combinations of these nouns and the numbers one through ten. Nowadays, most speakers use the Spanish number words.

Note that the following transcriptions between traditional phonetic symbols and IPA.

1.ch = simple alveopalatal affricate IPA [tʃ].

2. <'> represents both a glottal stop and glottalization.

3. ñ = IPA [ɲ], a palatal nasal, 4. y = IPA [j], a palatal approximant.
