Other comments: The modern Ben Tey has a decimal system. There is an archaic form for 80 'dɔ̀ː sòŋɡú'. They borrowed Fulfulde number 100 'tɛ́ːmɛ́dɛ́rɛ̀'. Ben Tey ('language of Beni'). Spoken by approximately 1,300 speakers in the villages of Beni and Gamni (3 km apart) on a relatively small rocky shelf (plateau) south of Douentza. Also said to be spoken in the village of Komboy. Originally thought to be a dialect of "Beni-Walo." Bankan Tey, Ben Tey, and Nanga are a probable genetic subgroup. Note that the nasalized semivowels are expressed by [wⁿ] and [nʸ].
