Other comments: Karon has has a quinary-vigesimal system and a single word for 15. 'nɪŋ' is the underlying form but invariably pronounced as 'nɪ' before y and often elsewhere; 'kɐ:t' is used for the second ‘five’ between each ‘twenty’, e.g. ‘35’ əwi kɐ:t ; ‘99’ əwi epɐ:kɪːl nɪŋ kɐ:t nɪŋ sɪpɐ:kɪːl. The word for ‘1000’ is borrowed from Mandinka (local dominant language); it is possible that ‘100’ is as well. Karon or or Kuloonaay or Jola-Karone is spoken by approximately 11,600 speakers in Ziguinchor region: Bignona department, Kafountine area and north; Kalisseye inlet to Casamance river, to Gambian border, east to Dioloulou; Karon islands, Senegal and Gambia.
