Other comments: Ñandeva or Tapiete, Ñanagua is spoken by approximately 1,759 speakers in Alto Paraguay department: northwest; Boquerón department: Toledo area; Presidente Hayes department, Paraguay.

 

Tapiete number system is decimal. While cognates for numbers one to five are found in other Tupi-Guarani languages, cognates for number six, seven, eight and nine are only found in Chiriguano (Dietrich 1986:169.) Names for number ‘five’ pandepo, all 2POSS-hand and ‘ten’ opañandepo, all 1POSSPL-hand are compounds whose meaning are ‘all your hand’ and ‘all our hands’, respectively. Speakers easily use the number system from one to five, and this use is reflected in texts. This is not the case, of numbers six to ten. Although these later forms have been given by elderly speakers, they do not appear frequently in texts and young speakers do not use them at all. Beyond number ten, the forms given are innovations from young educated speakers, as they appear as calques of the Spanish number system. These forms have been approved, however, by elderly speakers as forms that could be adopted if the language reaches the point of standardization. The innovating number system is as shown in above table.

Note thatː ñ =IPA[ɲ], sh =IPA [ʃ], w =IPA [β]
