Other comments: Marka or Dafing, like Bambara, has an old numbering system based on 80 rather than 100. This changed most likely with the introduction of money. The first set is old system and the second the new one. In traditional system, 70 is expressed by '80, less ten' The new numbers are increasingly influenced by Jula, a trade language related to Bamabara. Noteː the 'n' at the end of  a word such as 'kyen' and 'kondon' indicates nasality.

Marka or Dafing is spoken by approximately 260,000 speakers in Boucle du Mouhoun region: Bale, Banwa, Nayala, and Sourou provinces; Kossi and Mouhoun provinces: Nouna and Dedougou areas, Burkina Faso as welll as Maili.
