Other comments: Fio is a seriously endangered language only 8 speakers left, spoken

at Fio (Shuo) village, Bum Subdivision, Boyo Division, NWR, Cameroon. This language is not reported on ''Ethnologue'' but some numerals of this language are similar to that of Nchane language. The numeral 2, 4 and 5 differs from Naki by the absence of the ɪ- prefix. There is a lot of variation because the language is dying out and because the consultants speaks many local languages around them. We will be there in the field once more to verify our data from some young women who are about 55 years of age.

Because some the variation is that our consultants had no teeth so the sounds where difficult to be captured.
