Other comments: Mazatlán Mazatec or Mazateco de Mazatlán Villa de Flores is spoken by approximately 12,000 speakers in Oaxaca state: Teotitlán district, Mazatlán Villa de Flores, Mexico. Mazatlán Mazatec of Villa de Flores has a vigesimal system. Note that up to the number 40 the number for the decimal number and the digital number are simply juxtaposed (kã˥.ɲu˧hũ˧ ‘twenty four’) but after the number 40, you begin to join the two numbers with a conjunction (ho˧ kã˥ ɲu˧hũ˧ ‘two-twenty and four’). The number 50 is a vestige from a historical phonological process.  Paul Kirk, in his reconstruction of Proto-Mazatec says “… that occured after palatal compounds such as *ñac³ča³ (PMaz 720) composed of *ʔnau² ‘five’ (PMaz 719) and *-ča³ a palatalized morpheme alternate of *ka⁴³ ‘twenty’ (PMaz 175, POM 227) that occured after palatal compounds such as *ña⁴ča³ ‘forty’ (PMaz 425) > yača; *ña > ya seems to hark from *-ñu⁴ ‘twin’ (PMaz 715, POM 84).” International Journal of American Linguistics, Vol. 51, No. 4 (Oct., 1985), p481.
