Other comments: Ikoma, Nata and Isenye are 3 different ethnic groups. They consider their 3 speech varieties different, but similar enough to use the same written material. Nata seems more endangered with many children speaking more Swahili than Nata. The data is taken from Ishenyi dialect. Ishenye has a decimal system similar to that of Ngoreme.

Other comments: Ki-Nata is classified as Bantu E 45, spoken by approximately 6000 people. The Ki-Nata language is spoken by βa-Nata1, who inhabit parts of two Tanzanian districts, namely Serengeti and Bunda in Mara Region. In Serengeti District, Ki-Nata is spoken in such areas as Isenye, Nata-Motukeri, Nata-Mbiso, Makondose, Nyichoka and Burunga. In Bunda District it is spoken in Mogeta and Kyandege. In the mentioned districts the βa-Nata interact with other speech communities. In Serengeti, they interact with Kuria, Ikoma and Isenye while in Bunda they interact with Kuria, Ikizo and Zanake.

Other higher numeralsː 10,000 eβekwé ikómi, 50,000 eβekwé mirɔ́ɔ́ŋɡɔ ɛtáanɔ,

1,000,000 = eβírara na eβírara (ton of hundred thousand).

placed along with Ke-Ragoli (E41), Ke-Gusii (42), γi-Kuria (43), Ke-Zanake (E44), γi-

Isenye (E44b), Ci-Ndali (E44c), γi-Siora (E44g) and γi-Sweta (E44e). Others include γi-

Kiroβa (E44f), γi-Ikizo (E44g), Ki-γirango (E44h), γi-Sembete (E44k) and Ki-Sonjo

(E46). In his classification Guthrie treats Ki-Nata and γi-Ikoma as one and the same

Nata. The only thing she added was that Ki-Nata was spoken around Ikoma2, south of

languages.

gives a classification that places Ki-Nata in the γi-Ikoma subgroup under the Ke-Zanake

group. The subgroup has the following languages: γi-Isenye, Ki-Nata, and γi-Ikoma.

Other sister languages to Ki-Nata like γi-Kuria and Ke-Ngoreme form different groups.

he includes such languages as Ke-Gusii, γi-Kuria, Ke-Zanake, Ki-Nata, Ke-Ngoreme

Guthrie (1967-71) treat Ki-Nata and γi-Ikoma as one and the same language. We tend to agree with Mekacha (1985) that a convenient Ki-Nata classification should have shown that Ki-Nata and γi-Ikoma are closely related languages but not that they are one and the same. Heine’s classification too should have, in our view, indicated that Ki-Nata is more closely related to Ke-Ngoreme than to Ke-Zanake.
