Other comments: Sîshëë or Zire has a quinary system similar to that of Tiri. However, the left few speakers only can remember traditional numerals from 1 to five, higher numbers have been completely replaced by French numbers now. Sîshëë is a nearly extinct language formerly spoken in Poya commune in North province and Coral Sea coastal plain of South province, New Caledonia.
