Other comments: North Efate or Nguna or Nakanamanga has a quinary system. the word for 'thousand' manu is a loanword from Polynesian language. The modern Ngana numbers after ten have been replaced by Bislama. The traditional numbers after ten were taken from the old book ' Sketch of Ngana Grammar' by H. Ray in 1887. Note the the 'p with an over nasal symbol<p̃>' expresses the bilabial lens implosive stop. North Efate is spoken by about 9,500 speakers (Lynch and Crowley 2001) in north Efate island, Nguna, Tongoa, and several smaller islands, southeast Epi, Shefa province, Vanuatu.
