Other comments: Mabaan is spoken by approximately by 90,000 speakers in Mabaan county, Upper Nile state, South Sudan. Mabaan has a quinary, vigesimal system. The word "ínyáákkɛ̀n'' means 'both hands', 'om' means 'thigh', ''mɨn báánò'' means ' person', ''má báán'' means 'people', ''byiŋɛ'' means 'his hand', and ''byiŋɛ kɛ'' means ' his hands'. The number 99 is especially interesting: ''four Mabaan + another person's hands, and five + four ". For ''100'' they have gone to the Arabic word ''miyaa'', a little shorter.
