Other comments: Poumai Naga (also called as Poula) has a decimal system. The data given by Losii Heshu is not Poula (Poumai Naga), but the language is more like Mao Naga mixed with some Poumai speakers living close to Mao Naga speakers. In the past Poumai and Mao are known as one tribe. In the above data I can see affixes used before the root word, Native Poula speakers will not used affixes while counting the numerals. They used affixes when it come to sentences.

Poula has four tones: High ( ́), Rising ( ̌), Mid () and Low ( ̀). Data that are not marked with tone-diacritic indicate Mid tone.

Other comments: Poumai Naga has a decimal system similar to Mao Naga. Tone Marks representationː 1=High /High high; 2=High low / High, 3=Mid / level and 4= Low.

Poumai Naga or Paola is spoken by approximately 140,000 speakers in Manipur state, India. Poumai Naga is similar to Mao Naga but different from Puimei Naga (Breton 1997:217). Paomata dialect of Mao Naga and Poumei Naga may be the same (Breton 1997).
