Other comments: Rajbanshi has a decimal system. The first set of numbers was taken from Rajbanshi dialect in Nepal, so the numeral system is similar to Nepali numeral system; the second set was provided by Ms. Rose Chand Joshy in India side, and she said the Rajbongshi has an old system based on twenty, but at present it follows the decimal numeral systems as similar to that of Bengali and Hindi. Rajbanshi or Deshi Bhasa or Tajpuria is spoken by approximately 170,000 speakers in south Jhapa, and south Morang districts, Kosi province, Nepal, as well as India and Bangladesh.
