Other comments: Mbula or Mbula-Mangap has a quinary-vigesimal counting system. Note that the 1000 munŋɑːnɑ means ''a great amount that is uncountable''. Nowadays, they Mbula people generally used Pijin numbers after 200. Mbula is spoken by around 2,500 people on Umboi Island and Sakar Island in the Morobe Province of Papua New Guinea.
