Other comments: Ho is spoken by approximately 1,400,000 speakers in Bihar,  Jharkhand, Odisha and West Bengal states, India. Ho has a traditional vigesimal system. There are two sets of cardinal numerals in Ho, one is the long form and the short forms are used before nouns. I only wrote the short forms for 1-10 but they are formed in the same way for the higher numbers. The higher numbers are borrowed from Hindi but people frequently use Hindi for the lower numbers too. They can say 'moe his ' but more commonly 'mi sao', a Hindi loanword.
