Other comments: Garífuna or Black Carib, Caribe, Central American Carib, Garínagu, Karif, is spoken by approximately 119,000 speakers in Atlántida and Colón departments; Cortes department: north coast between Masca and Plaplaya in Gracias a Dios department; Islas de la Bahía (Roatan island) department; cities: La Ceiba, Puerto Cortés, San Pedro Sula, and Tegucigalpa, Honduras, as well as Belize, Guatemala and Nicaragua. Garifuna has only kept three numbers from Arawakan origin. From "3" upwards, the numbers are from French origin. Please note that the orthographic spelling <ü > = IPA symbol [ɨ].

Correction by Dr. Peter Bakker, Aarhus University, Denmark  ( 2020, January 14):

The numeral three in Garifuna is not of Arawak origin, but of Carib origin.

Other comments: From 3 upwards, the numbers of Garifuna are exclusively of French origin and are based on the dying vigesimal system. The above data are based on Belize dialect. 50 is dimi san, dimi means half, so literally translated dimi san means half of a hundred. For fifty we can also say biam weŋ disi - which literally translates  to two twenties and ten. The option for number 80 'dimisaŋ darandi' literally means 'half of one hundred plus 30'.
