Other comments: Tausug has a decimal system. Tausug still has the traditional Austronesian numbers after ten. Please note that in Tausug there is always a glottal stop between contiguous vowels: aa=aʔa,   ai=aʔi, au=aʔu etc. with each possible vowel combination. Therefore in the orthography, the glottal stop is not written between vowels. When two vowels come together (making two syllables) but there is no glottal stop, the semi-vowel is used between vowels. For example: dua=duwa,  siam=siyam (Note dua is not pronounced as one syllable (dwa), but as two syllables (duwa). There is contrastive length on each of the three vowels.  The lengthened vowel is written with a macron over the vowel.  ipun (tooth) /  īpun (slave) , ūd (worm), ād (fence). The word “ʔisa” is used only in counting. ʔisa, duwa, tū, etc.”one, two, three, etc.” In counting you do not say, hambuuk, duwa, tū, etc. The word “hambuuk” is a single thing or unit. See Tausug-English Dictionary, Kabtangan iban Maana by Irene U. Hassan, Seymour and Lois Ashley pg. 162, 199. Tausug or Bahasa Suluk) is spoken by approximately 1.1 million speakers in the province of Sulu in the Philippines and in the eastern area of the state of Sabah, Malaysia, by the Tausūg people. It is widely spoken in the Sulu Archipelago (Sulu, Tawi-Tawi, and Basilan), the Zamboanga Peninsula (Zamboanga del Norte, Zamboanga Sibugay, Zamboanga del Sur, and Zamboanga City), southern Palawan, and Malaysia (eastern Sabah).
