Other comments: Maniq or Tonga /Mos or Ten'edn only has the indigenous numerals for 1, 2 and 'many'. Number 3 is a Malay loanword. Now, the Maniq speak fluent Thai and have knowledge of the Thai system, but they do not normally use numerals other than the basic set provided. The group that I work with does not use money on everyday basis, hence they hardly ever need to use numerals of this kind. If they do, I would guess it is mostly in contact situations with the Thai and in that cases they would speak Thai only. I have never recorded indigenous use of these numbers, apart from 100 and 1000.
