Other comments: Maldivian or Dhivehi has a decimal system. The difference between Reynolds and Cain's transcription is that Reynolds used <ç >while Cain used <ʆ>(a retroflex fricative) for transcribing ̈‘sh’ as in numerals 8, 18 and 28. Maldivian is spoken by approximately 540,000 speakers in Maldives as well as India.
