Other comments: Degama is spoken by approximately 10,000 speakers in Rivers state: Degema LGA, Degema town (Atala dialect) and Usokun-Degema (Usokun dialect) communities, Nigeria. Degema has a vigesimal numeral system. The forms in parentheses are those used when they modify nominals or when calling the number alone. 'nʊ' = 'and', 'mʊ' = 'from', 'óte' = 'it is not complete', so 9 is formed by 'it is one not complete 10', 'útáɲ' = 'score'. Degema is a tonal language, low tone is unmarked.
