Other comments: Nias has a decimal system. On the above tables, the first set of numerals is taken from South Nias dialect (Nias Selatan), and the second one is taken form North Nias dialect (Nias Utara).

Notes to orthography and phonetics of Nias:

- A single quote mark within an orthographic word represents a glottal stop. e.g.

-''[fele'önö] = [feleʔɤnɤ]''

- A single quote mark within a phonetic representation of a word represents stress.

e.g. [fele'önö] = [fele'ʔɤnɤ] (stress on penultimate syllable)

'	[ʔ] Glottal stop; stress
ö	[ɤ] ~ [ɘ] ~ [ɯ] [high-mid, central-back, unrounded vowel] (hard to pinpoint)
z	[dʒ] Voiced alveolar affricate or [d^ʒ] voiced alveolar stop with fricated-release
r	[r] Voiced alveolar trill
mb	[^mʙ] prenasalized voiced bilabial trill
