Other comments: Mündü has a vigesimal counting system. The highest unit they can count is 200, they also used loans from Arabic 'miya' or Bangala 'kama moko' for 100 and Arabic 'elːfu', Bangala 'kutu moko' or 'mibule' for 1000. In practice, people rarely count above 5 in Mündü. If they need to count higher than that, they go to the trade language - Arabic or Bangala, depending on whether they live in Sudan or DR Congo. The tones marks are refer to A. Valleays' source. The Mündü has three tonesː high=v́, low=v̀ and base tone (unmarked). Mündü is spoken by approximately 25,000 speakers in Central Equatoria state and Western Equatoria state, South Sudan as well as

Democratic Republic of the Congo.
