From the new information from Prof. Suhnu Ram Sharma (2017). Rongpo is a Tibeto-Burman language spoken by approximately 7,000 speakers in Chamoli district in the state of Uttarakhand, India (North India). It has only six native numerals and all other numerals are borrowed from Indo-Aryan languages. Native Rongpo cardinal numerals are: /tig/  'one', /nhis/ 'two', /sum/ 'three', /pi/ 'four', /ŋa/ 'five', /gya/ 'hundred'. But if one wants write or say one hundred and one then the term /gya/ is not used. There they use Indo-Aryan terms like /ek sɔ ek/ only.
