Other comments: Nyakyusa-Ngonde (Kɨnyakyʉsa) is spoken by approximately 1,360,000 speakers in Mbeya region: Kyela and Rungwe districts, Lake Malawi north end; Njombe region: Makete district, Tanzania as well as Malawi. Nyakyusa has a decimal system with special forms for 6 to 9. There are options for numbers, 9, 19, 29. The  word 'm̩fuːⁿdo' is used for both fists hold together, so 'm̩fuːⁿdo kɪmo' means something like 'both fists minus one or 10 - 1'. The options for 19 and 29 are 'kaloːᵑɡo (na) tʰʊhaːno na  tʰʊna' and 'amaloːᵑɡo mabɪlɪ (na) tʰʊhaːno na tʰʊna', receptively. Nyakyusa is an atonal Bantu language. In some situation, especially among younger people, Swahili numbers might be mixed with the Nyakyusa numbers.
