Other comments: Denî or Dani, Madiha is spoken by approximately 740 speakers out of 880 ethnic population in Amazonas state: Terra Indigena Camadeni and Terra Indigena Deni, between Purus and Juruá rivers, Upper Cunhua and Xiruã rivers.

The Denî people has used the Portuguese numbers. Referring to 'one' and 'two', they ever use the numbers of Denî language itself; but referring to 'three', 'four', 'five' and other numbers, Deni people use the Portuguese numbers, with phonological adaptations, followed by [kana'ɾu] 'female' or [kana'ɾi] 'male', as Vladimir Menezes Cunha said below.

As in others indigenous Brazilian languages, to form larger numbers than 'two' Denî people add other numbers; i.e. 'three' [pami'hi uhaɾi'hi] (2+1), 'four' [pami'hi pami'hi] (2+2). Furthermore, there are other constructions; i.e. 'five' [idze'pe kahaɾia'ɾu] ('our full hand'), 'nine' [idze'pe tukapamabu'te] ('our almost full hand').

Other comments: Dení has only two numerals 'one' and 'two'. They used Brazilian Portuguese with phonological adaptations from two onwards now. Traditionally, 15 can be expressed by ''two hands and one (hand)'' and 20 by ''two hands and two (hands)''.
