Other comments: Mehri has a decimal system. The above data was taken from Mehreyyet dialect of Mehri spoken in Oman. In Mehreyyet, the Arabic numerals are not widely adopted and the numerals from 11 to 99 are formed with the tens conjoined by wa-to the respective unitsː  

Mehri or Mahri is the most spoken of the Modern South Arabian languages, a subgroup of the Semitic branch of the Afroasiatic family. It is spoken by the Mehri tribes, who inhabit isolated areas of the eastern part of Yemen, western Oman, particularly the Al Mahrah Governorate, with a small number in Saudi Arabia near the Yemeni and Omani borders. The approximately population of Mehri is about 160,000.
Note the following differences between traditional Semitic phonetic symbols and IPA transcriptionsː
1. / t̩/ is an emphatic alveolar stop. In both dialects groups, /t̩/ is realised with pharyngealisation. In Mehreyyet, it may be realised as ejective (IPA [t̚), with
pharyngealised non-ejective variants in certain environments (IPA [tˤ]), particularly before non-high back vowels and in intervocalic position. In Mahriyōt, /t̩/ is almost invariably realised as pharyngealised non-ejective [(IPA [tˤ]), except in utterance-final
position. /t̩/ occasionally neutralises with /t/ and. more commonly, /d/ in both dialects groups.
2. /t̠/ voiceless interdental fricative, IPA [θ]
3. /ś/ voiceless lateral fricative, IPA [ɬ]
4. /y/ voiced palatal approximant, IPA [j]
Vowelsː /a/ = IPA [ɑ], /i/ = IPA [i], /u/ = IPA [u],  /ē/ is around IPA [eː], /ā/ ranging between IPA [ɛː] and [æː], particularly in Mehreyyet.

Other comments: Mehri has a decimal system. The above data was taken from Mahriyōt dialect of Mehri spoken in Yemen. For 11 to 99, adult Mahriyōt speakers know the Mehri numerals, but overwhelmingly use Arabic numerals now.

Other comments: Mehri has a decimal system. Mehri numerals from one to ten both have masculine and feminine forms. They usually use Arabic numerals after ten. The symbol 'ś' as in numbers 'three' and 'ten' is an apico-alveolar lateral fricative, which does not appear in current IPA chart.
