Other comments: Konso has a decimal system. Note that the words starting from number 20 till 99– it is not ''kuɗan'', but “kunɗa”, however funny it might feel.

Konso is a Lowland East Cushitic language spoken in southwest Ethiopia spoken by approximately 200,000 speakers. Konso is closely related to Dirasha (also known as Gidole), and serves as a "trade language"—or lingua franca—beyond the area of the Konso people.
