Other comments: Kachama-Ganjule has a decimal system of counting similar to that of Zayse-Zargulla. The linker -ne in the compound numbers means 'and'. The number for 'thousand' is borrowed from Amharic. The above data was taken from Ganjule dialect.

Note that the symbol <č> is a voiceless palatal affricative, IPA <tʃ>, <š> is <ʃ>.

Kachama-Ganjule is an Afroasiatic language spoken in Ethiopia on islands in Lake Chamo and Lake Abaya. Kachama is spoken on Gidicho island in Lake Abaya, whereas Ganjule was originally spoken on a small island in Lake Chamo. Now the Ganjule speakers have relocated to the west shore of the Lake. There still are about 1,000 monolinguals in this language.
