Other comments: Tatuyo or Tatuyo ye, Tatutapuyo is spoken by approximately 300 speakers in Vaupés department: Pira-Paraná headwaters and upper Papurí, Colombia.

Tatuyo has a traditional counting goes up to 20, but they are going to Spanish, where there is literacy, because it's less cumbersome. Especially if you want to go past 20. It would just be "many." But if they wanted to, Tatuyo has a way possible to do it, to an extent. You would just say how many people, then the number of 20's.

If I were willing to spend the time and had an IPA keyboard I could be accurate phonetically; At least I should be consistent in using our orthography. Below I have used both k and c and haven't consistently marked tone; High tone should be marked with an accent and low unmarked. I haven't marked it half the time. If you wish, I can fix it in or orthography when I have time.

Regarding the numbers 11-20 as far as I think I have heard in the distant past, but now everyone would either say "lots of" or use Spanish:

once, doce, etc., all larger numbers in Spanish. One should be aware that although a number can stand alone, usually a number would modify the article, either naming it or the clitic pronoun:

hĩkã-ʉ/-o/rã/ro [animate masc./ animate fem/plural animate/inanimate sg or pl. However, there are other noun class markers that occur.

Examples: híkãʉ/hĩkʉ̃ [one male]; hĩkão/ hĩkõ [one female]; hĩkã'rõ [one inaimate object]; hĩkã wíi [one house]

pʉ́garã [two animate beings]; pʉ́ga wíi [two houses]; pʉ́garo [two of 'em]; itiaro [three of 'em], etc.

Also, the term ka-anaca would have on the end the pronoun or noun:

bapari ca-ãnãkã wii [4 houses]; bapari ca-anacaro [4 of 'em]

Other higher number beyond 20 are:

21. pʉgarã ye pétiro, apei hĩkã 'two peoples' all [ptional and much more common: capáarã 'many'

31. itiarã ye pé'tiro, apei hĩkã

41. bapari ca-ánákã ye pé'tiro, apei hĩkã

And more possibilities, but never used: capáarã 'many'; capáarã mãhũu 'really many'; capáarã mãhũu, capáarã mãhũu 'uncountable'
