Other comments: Lutos is spoken by approximately 190,000 speakers in Bamingui-Bangoran prefecture and Nana-Grébizi prefecture in Central African Republic and in Chad. Lutos has a vigesimal system with special forms for 6 to 9. The numbers for 7 and 9 are interesting: 8 minus 1 and 10 minus 1, respectively (somewhat like in Roman numerals). The word sákì ''thousand'' may come from the French sac “bag”, the idea being that you can fit a lot in a big bag. Lutos has two tones: high [á] and low [à].
