Other comments: Jalkunan has a vigesimal system. Jalkunan or Blé is an endangered language with only 500 speakers left, living in Blédougou village, Loumana department, Leraba province, southwestern Burkina Faso. Jalkunan has a quinary-vigesimal system similar to that of Ligbi in Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. Note that underlined vowels are nasalized. It was not possible for me to put a mid tone marker (–) on top of a nasalization marker (~) with this font.
