Other comments: Tlingit (Lingít, Łingít ) or Thlinget is spoken by approximately 500

fluent speakers out of 10,000 ethnic population in Alaska: Carcross-Tagish inland, Ketchikan south to Yakutat north, United States as well as Canada. Tlingit has two numeral systems, an older quinquevigesimal system and a newer quinquedecimal system. Both systems have numbers from six to ten constructed from the numbers from one to five. Above is the older Tlingit vigesimal system with substructures for numbers 6 to 8. The word ''tʃín'' means ''hand or arm'' and 10 can be translated loosely as ''in the palm of the hands''. Numbers six, seven and eight are derived from one, two, and three. ''-ʔʌtuːʃʊ́'' may be related to '' ʔʌt ʃʊwʊ́'' , means ''its end, its tip'', twenty derived from '' one person''. There is a slightly newer numbers system in use by younger speakers which counts tens instead of twenties. This is certainly derived from the English decimal system. The terms for hundred and thousand are loanwords from English.
