Other comments: Sarsi (Sarcee) or Tsuu T’ina, Tsúùtínà is  a moribund language spoken by approximately 180 speakers in Alberta province: Calgary area, Canada.

Sarcee has a well-developed decimal system with special terms for 6, 8 and 9. It's evident that the numerals originated as a quinary system which has developed into a quinary-decimal system; the number 'eight' is combined with 'four' and 'two'; the number 'six' was analyzed by Sapir's note as 'extra one sticking out' and 'nine' as 'used up'.

Note that the data were in Phonetic transcription ( Americanist )ː

1. dl = IPA [dɮ], voiced lateral affricate.

2. tɬ = IPA [tɬ], voiceless lateral affricate.

3. dj = IPA [dʒ], voiced postalveolar affricate.

4. tč = IPA [tʃ], voiceless postalveolar affricate.

5. ts = IPA [ts], voiceless alveolar affricate.

6. tsʼ =IPA [tsʼ], voiceless ejective affricate

7. š = IPA [ʃ], voiceless velar fricative.

There are four vowels in Sarcee (i, a, o and u) and 'i' varies bwteen [i] and [e], the spelling 'e' is [i] phonemically. Tone marksː  ā = median tone; á = high tone, à = low tone.
