Other comments: Mono-Alu is spoken by about 3,000 speakers on Mono Island, Alu Island, and Fauro Island in the Western Province of the Solomon Islands, this language has a decimal system. However, now it's highly endangered as all school teaching is conducted in English and the Solomon Islands Pijin/English numeral system is replacing the Mono-Alu vocabulary. Especially the unit terminology for food stuffs is nearly entirely lost today and younger speakers are no longer familiar with it. Note 1: For the number 90 'siahulu, there is some regional variation, though. Speakers on  Mono Island will sometimes say uliahulu, while speakers on Alu Island use siahulu  only and will correct the use of uliahulu. Note2:  The word latu ‘hundred’ also means ‘tribe’. The word kokolei ‘thousand’ is also used to refer to chickens. Traditional counting exists for the following foodstuffs:

•    ripe coconuts are counted in units of fifteen
        – 15 ripe coconuts: 'ʔɛa 'hɛ:na
        – 30 ripe coconuts: 'ɛlua 'hɛ:na

• megapod eggs are counted in units of ten
       – 10 megapod eggs: 'ʔɛa 'tɔlaʔa
       – 20 megapod eggs:  'ɛlua 'tɔlaʔa

• (hunted) possums are counted in sets as well
