Other comments: Kodia has a quinary, vigesimal system similar to that of other Kru languages. More completed data for numbers from 20 onwards needed. Tone marks used above areː v²=high; v⁴³=tone is low-mid on first syllable, and slightly higher that mid on second; first syllable seems 1, 1/2 times longer than second. Kodia or Kwadia is spoken by approximately 800 speakers in Bas-Sassandra district, Côte d'Ivoire. |
