Other comments: Northern Gumuz is spoken in Mandura, Ethiopia. This language has developed a decimal system. The numbers 6 through 10 in Northern Gumuz are likely borrowed from Awgni, a Cushitic language which borders the Northern Gumuz area and words for hundred and thousand are Amharic loanwords. This language is spoken in Mandura, Ethiopia.

Other comments: Southern Gumuz is spoken in Kamashi Zone, Ethiopia. This language has a vigesimal system. The number 20 is gunzá-mta (man-one)'one man'. The numbers following 20 use the phrase ná=kʼó-ma (on-top-3SG.POSS)'on top of it' followed by numbers 1 through 19 until arriving at the next multiple of twenty. For example, 21 is 'one man' plus 'on top of it' followed by 'one' and 39 would then be 'one man' plus 'on top of it' followed by 'nineteen'. This system begins again with 40 which is 'two men', and continues with 60 which is 'three men', etc., etc."
