Other comments: Western Krahn has a quinary, decimal system similar to that of the Sarpo language. The numbers '100'' and ''1000'' are loanwords. The above data was taken from Gbarzon dialect. Western Krahn is spoken by approximately 100,000 speakers in Grand Gedeh county: near Côte d’Ivoire border; Nimba and Sinoe counties, Liberia.
