Other comments: Satawalese has a decimal system with several sets of classifiers which used with different nouns similar to Woleaian. The above table, there are two basic systems of counting are used on Satawalː a 'fast version' to count objects and in game playing, and a 'slow version' preferred by the older speakers and used to teach children how to count. To form numbers higher than 10, a special set of 1-9 numbers (labeled 'combine'') are appended to quantities over ten ( the conjunction me 'and' joins numbers together. Satawalese can express the number one billionː engeras ssen' one thousand million'. Satawalese is spoken by about 500 speakers in Satawal island, Yap state, the Federated States of Micronesia.
