Other comments: Munji is spoken by approximately 5,300 speakers in Mamalgha and Munjan valleys, Kuran wa Munjan district, Badakhshan province, Afghanistan.

The Munji numbers one through ten are in widespread everyday use

From ten on up, Munji speakers most often use the Dari number system. However, there is also a distinctive Munji number system also in use. They certainly do still use it. On occasion, I have seen them use their own system when when they don’t want Dari speakers to understand what they are saying.

The Munji system works by naming the digits that make up the number. The digits are sererated with the conjunction /u/. The excetion is when zeros are next to each other, then the digits are numbered. Thus 100 is /ju u lə sɛfɾi/[1] and 1000 is /ju u çiraj zɛfɾi/.

I have not had the opportunity to look at the historical development of this system.  But it would be worth looking into.

Other comments: It is not sure if the Munjian still keep their traditional numerals after ten or totally replaced by Persian numerals.
