Other comments: Nêlêmwa-Nixumwak or Kumak has a traditional quinary-vigesimal system based on 'hands' and 'persons'. Kumak like most Oceanic Austronesian languages, has a complicated classifier systems which should be used with a variety of nouns their modified. The above is a basic or 'root' forms. The wordsː 'nem'=hand;

'ak'=person; the original of 'ten' tuᶮɟic is unknown. Nowadays, the Kumak people used French numbers after five. Nêlêmwa-Nixumwak is spoken by about 1,000 speakers in

west coast of Koumac (Nixumwak) and Poum (Nelemwa) in North province, New Caledonia.
