Other comments: Ndenggan or Banam Bay is an endangered language spoken on southeast coast of Malekula in Vanuatu. This language has a traditional quinary counting system before, currently up to ten is used in language, but beyond does typically borrow from Bislama, though there is interest in putting past ten into the primary school curriculum, so it could be that the younger generations will use Ndenggan numerals for all of their counting.

Ndenggan means of the place, or if this place. It is the name that the community has decided upon instead of Banam Bay Language, since only a portion of the villages are actually adjacent to Banam Bay. The orthography is by design inclusive of the prenasalized consonants. The intent was to keep as much of the local sounds within the writing system as a way of language maintenance for the younger generations. We are still exploring how this effects literacy and ease of reading, but that is what the community desires for now.

Other comments: Banam Bay or Burmbar is spoken at two villages (Retur and Rapersivir) southeast coast of Malekula in Vanuatu. This language has a traditional quinary / decimal counting system.  New data needed to compare with the old one.
