Other comments: Keiyo is spoken by approximately 250,000 speakers in Elgeyo-Marakwet and Uasin Gishu counties, Kenya. Keiyo has a decimal system of counting similar to that of Nandi and other Kalenjin languages. The word 'thousand' is a loan from Swahili. The formations of 20, 30, 40 and 50 are different from those of 60, 70, 80 and 90. Note that mid tone is unmarked.
