Other comments: Timbisha or Tumpisa Shoshone, Tümpisa Panamint is a moribund language spoken by 20 speakers in 100 ethnic population in California: Little Lake area in south Eureka Valley; Owens Lake, Coso Range, south Owens Valley area; Nevada: Amargosa Desert, Argus range, Beatty area, north and central Death Valley; Funeral Range on California-Nevada border; Grapevine mountains; Inyo mountains east slopes, northern Panamint valley and mountains; Saline valley, Unlisted States. Timbisha or Timbisha Shoshone has a decimal system. On the above chart, the first column of 1 to 10 are base form and the second free form. The numbers from 1 to 9 have distinct roots or bases which are not used alone in isolation, as free forms, but only in phrases and compounds. In order to be used as free forms, the bases must occur with the absolutive suffix-(t)tɨn. For compound numbers from 11 to 19, the term sɨɨmooyɨntɨn is an option, so 11 can be expressed as (sɨɨmooyɨntɨn) sɨɨmɨttɨm ma toʔeŋkɨnna and 19 (sɨɨmooyɨntɨn) wanikkitɨm ma toʔeŋkɨnna. Timbisha is moribund or nearly extinct language formerly spoken in some mountainous valleys in California and Nevada.
