Other comments: Misak, Namdrik or Guambiano is spoken by approximately 21,000 speakers out of 39,80 ethnic population in Cauca department: Caldono, Jambaló, Silvia, Toribío, and Totoró municipalities, western slopes of Andean Cordillera Central on Piendamó river banks, Colombia. Misak or Guambiano has a very limited numerical system. They only counted to five in Guambiano, then switched to Spanish. Much of their numerical or financial conversation was with Spanish speakers. Some attempts have been made to form new Guambiano terms, but they have not caught on. |
