Other comments: Hassaniyya or Mauritanian Arabic is spoken in Mauritanian, Algeria, Mali, Morocco, Niger and Western Sahara. This language has a decimal system similar to that of other Arabic languages or varieties. — For number ‘one’: [waːħəd] is used for counting and for qualifying masculine nouns: [ktaːb waːħəd] ‘one book’. [waħdæ] is used for qualifying feminine nouns: [bægṛa waħdæ] ‘one cow’. — For number ‘two’: [æθnæjn] is used for counting and for qualifying masculine definite nouns: [lə=ktuːb l=æθnæjn] ‘the two books’. [θəntæjn] is used for qualifying feminine definite nouns: [l-bægṛaːt əθ=θəntæjn] ‘the two cows’. The dual with suffix [ajn] is used with indefinite nouns: [ktaˑb-ajn] ‘two books’. — Numbers ‘three’ to ‘nineteen’ and ‘hundred’ have two or three forms. The first form is used for counting and for qualifying definite nouns: [əṛ=ṛaʒʒaːlæ l =æθnaʕʃ] ‘the twelve men’. The second form is used before indefinite nouns: [aṛbaʕ ṛaʒʒaːlæ] ‘four men’, [æθnaʕʃərˤ ṛaːʒəl] ‘twelve men’. For number ‘three’ to ‘ten’, the form used before indefinite nouns has always a final [t] if the noun is masculine and begins with a vowel. So a specific form exists for numbers ‘four’, ‘five’, ‘seven’, ‘eight’ and ‘nine’, ex. [aṛbaʕt æjjaːm] ‘four days’, [æθmənt ælaːv] ‘eight thousand’. |
