Other comments: Plains Cree (Nēhiyawēwin) or Western Cree is spoken by approximately 12,000 speakers in North central Manitoba, scattered west across Saskatchewan and central Alberta to the foot of the Rocky Mountains; isolated enclave in British Columbia, Canada as well as United States. Plains Cree has a decimal system with particular constructions for 9, 19, 29, ... and 90. kêkâc means "almost", and it can be shortened to kêkâ-(or even kêka-) when compounded. 9, kêkâ-mitâtaht means "almost ten"; 19, kêkâ-nîsitanaw means "almost twenty"; 29, kêkâc nistomitanaw means "almost thirty"; 90, kêkâ-mitâtahtomitanaw is "ninety" or "the 'almost ten' tens".

Plains Cree (Algonquian) as spoken at White Bear, Saskatchewan. This is the southeasternmost Plains Cree community, and the reserve is shared with speakers of Saulteaux (Plains Ojibwe, Algonquian) and Nakota (Siouan). The numbers are not identical to Plains Cree usage at other locations, and I will try to add a couple of additional reserves from other locations to illustrate the contrast – for my own research if nothing else.

Note: Dr. Jean Okimasis provided phonetic citations in her 1 to 2000 list (with major and minor stress shown by acute and grave accent marks), but in her addendum shows the standard (phonemic) orthography.
