Other comments: Kathmandu Newari numerals are bound forms that occur prefixed to numeral classifiers. Free counting forms are rare in natural text in general. The pair '7' and '70' presents a problem. Many speakers maintain that '70' is somewhat longer than '7', but the Newari vowel system has no way to handle this, since [ɛː] is already long.

Newari is spoken approximately 800,000 speakers in Kathmandu valley; scattered throughout Gandaki, Gandaki, Janakpur, Kosi, and Lumbini provinces, Nepal.
