Other comments: Parenga or Parengi or Gorum is a nearly extinct Munda language spoken by approximately 20 speakers with 12,000 ethnic population in Mayurbhanj district, Odisha state, India. Parenga traditional numbers have been completely replaced by the neighboring Dedia, the Indo-Aryan language. The lower traditional numbers 1 to 3 are still in use, alternative with Desia numbers. The indigenous numbers for 4 'unɡi'( '-gi' is plural suffix' ) and 5 'monloj' is still remembered, but now mainly use Desia loans 4 ''car'' and 5 ''panc''. For 6 to 10, there were native words 6 ''turgi'' and 7 ''gurgi'', but not used anymore, and there probably native numbers for 8 ''tamɡi'', 9 ''timɡ' 'and 10 ''ɡalɡi'' reported in older literature. From 11 up, Desia numbers were used completely. There is another numeral that is frequently used: "laksa" or "lokio" (both Desia) for 100,000 (Indian English "lakh"). |
