Other comments: Malila has a decimal system with special numbers for 6 to 9. There are two ways to express each of 7, 8, 9 and 20, 7=zɪsâːnʊ na zíβɪlɪ ( 5+2 ), 8= zɪsâːnʊ na zítʰatʰʊ ( 5+3 ) and 9=zɪsâːnʊ na zínːi ( 5+4 ) and 20 'tʰʷêːⁿtʰe' is loan from English 'twenty'. The tens from 60 to 90 are constructed by mixing Malila numbers with Swahili. Currently, most Malila would count in Malia only up to ten and thereafter would use Swahili.
