Other comments: Qawasqar or Kawesqar, Alacaluf is a nearly extinct language with 12 speakers left within approximately 100 ethnic population in Magallanes region: West Patagonia, Channel area, Isle of Wellington off south Chilean coast, 49 degrees south. Center is Puerto Edén, Chile. The Kawesqar numeral system is very simple. There are only three numbers, from one to three, and after 3 they use "many". If they need to number more items they use Spanish numbers adapted to Kawesqar phonetics. Well the numbers are: one=takso; two=woks ; three=wokstou (i.e. woks = two + tou = another one). Spanish numbers are adapted to Kawesqar phonology, and morphological changes. Thus Four, "cuatro" in Spanish, becomes kuatero. |
