Other comments: Efe is spoken by approximately 20,000 speakers in Haut-Uele province, Ituri province and Nord-Kivu province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Efe has a counting system can count up to 20. The number 10 means ''all fingers'' and 20 is ''all fingers or toes of the body''. It doesn't know if the Efe people use a vigesimal system or a decimal system.
