Other comments: Puma have just retained traditional numeralsː one, two and three numeral system in daily practice and conversation though some of them claim they do have more. For counting more than thee, they borrow from Nepali. Note that the differences between traditional phonetic symbols and IPAː c = IPA [tʃ]; ch = IPA [tʃʰ]; j=IPA [dʒ]. Puma is not a tonal Tibeto-Burman language. Puma is spoken by approximately 7,000 speakers in Khotang district, Kosi province, Nepal.
