Other comments: Ginyanga or Agnagan, Anyanga, Genyanga has a vigesimal system. Ginyanga [ISO 639-3 ayg] is spoken approximately 16,500 speakers in Blitta prefecture, Centrale region, Togo, West Africa.

1.  Ginyanga is a tonal language, but the tonal system is still understudied, so the
     numerals are given without tonal marking.
2.  Numerals have noun class marking in isolation; these prefixes are separated by ‘-’.
