Other comments: Otoro basic numerals are similar to those of Laro, but they have developed a decimal system now. It seems the word for 20 ''àrːrɛ̀la'' might be a loan from Arabic. The actual form for 100 need to check again. Otoro or Utoro is spoken by approximately 10,000 speakers in Otoro hills south of Heiban town, South Kordofan state, Sudan. |
