Other comments: Iaai has a traditional quinary system with hands and persons. The word 'xaca at' means 'one man' used for 20, but they use different expressions for 30 to 90. There are options for 5 to 10, 11 to 19. 16 to 19 can be expressed by 'kun ta ɲ̥aːm nua xaca 16, kun ta ɲ̥aːm nua wɛk 19'. The above data was collected on fieldwork between October and December 2010 in Uvea island with one speaker (71 years old.). Noteː c=IPA [t͡ʃ]. The French equivalents are more frequently used. Iaai is spoken by about 4,000 speakers in Ouvéa, Loyalty Islands province, New Caledonia.
