Other comments: Innu or Montagnais, Montagnais Innu is spoken by approximately

9,000 speakers in Newfoundland and Labrador, and Quebec provinces; Lake Saint John east along Saguenay Valley to north shore Saint Lawrence River, Gulf of Saint Lawrence east to St. Augustin, north to height of land at Schefferville and inland Labrador, Goose Bay and Lake Melville, Canada. Innu or Montagnais has a decimal system similar to that of Naskapi. Note that the pronunciation for numbers for 7 niʃʷɔs and 8 nɪʃʷos  are very similar. and there are two words for 10 and that the second one (kUtUnu ) replaces the first (pejkUnu ) in creating the 20-90 series; note also that the final w in the numeral ‘one’ is a voiceless.
