Other comments: Lendu is spoken by approximately 750,000 speakers in Ituri province, west and northwest of Lake Albert in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Lendu has a two-based system up to 16. Since it is no longer in use, there is no absolutely certainty about the system and its use. The second set was provided  Rev. Nlandu M. Mpanzu of the former Bible Society of Zaire, it seems the Lendu has developed a decimal system, too. Both Lendu and Ngiti have 3 level tones: high is á, low is ǎ, mid is unmarked.
