Other comments: Poqomchi' or Pocomchí, Pokomchí is spoken by approximately 133,000 speakers out of 177,000 ethnic population in Alta Verapaz department, Baja Verapaz department and Quiché department, Guatemala. Poqomchi' has a base 20 numeral system, and has lots of nice morphology in this set and a good example of a 'going on' numeral system. Unfortunately, speakers no longer use the numbers above 20, and tend to count in Spanish after that point.  The above data is from Western Poqomchi' dialect.
