Other comments: Suri-Tirmaga-Chai or Chai is spoken by approximately 25,000 speakers in Southwest Ethiopia, southwest of Mizan Teferi, west of Maji, 20-30 miles east of the Sudan-Ethiopia border. Suri-Tirmaga & Chai ((Tirmaga & Chai dialects)) has a counting system based on twenty. The word 'hɪ́rkòn' in twenty means 'man' and the word 'zùɡò' means 'people', the 'thousand' ʃì, is borrowed from Amharic. The original Suri counting, 2000 would be expressed by 'zùɡò hɪ́rkònɛ̀à kú háyɛ́ná'.
