Other comments: Mru has a decimal system, other higher numbers are as followings:

300. ʃʊm³³kɔm³², 400. t’li:³⁴kɔm⁴⁴ma³², 500. t’ŋa:³⁴ kɔm⁴⁴ma³², 600.*trʊ:k^??kɔm⁴⁴ma³², 700. rə^??ni:t^??kɔm⁴⁴ma³²

• The morphemes for 2, 3, 4, and 5 have (at least) two allomorphs, which occur in the environments shown below.
• The morphemes for 7 and 8 seem to be spoken sesquisyllabically in the second environment (II), unless the word is slowly articulated.  In any case, they sound shorter than when spoken in the first environment (I).

Mru has 4 (or possibly 8) contour tones, and a bunch of high back vowels which all sound more or less the same to non-native speakers.  It also has a number of optional enclitics that are abundant in natural speech, but elude glossing.

Mru is spoken by approximately 50,000 speakers in Bandarban district, Chittagong division, Bangladesh, as well as India and Myanmar.
