Other comments: Makhuwa (Emakhuwa) or Makhuwa-Enahara, Central Makhuwa is spoken by approximately 3,900,400 speakers in Nampula province: south of Meetto area; Cabo Delgado, Niassa, and Zambezia provinces: border areas, Mozambique as well as Comoros. Makhuwa-Enahara or Central Makhuwa has a decimal numeral system. Numbers 6 to 9 are loanwords from Kiswahili. They also used Portuguese numbers from 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20, 21 to 29, 30 and the rest is basically Portuguese, at least in everyday life (so 39 would be tríńt’ enóóvi). Note that the last 'i' in 16 'desasɛ́ʃi' can be voiceless.
