Other comments: Tondano has a decimal system similar to that of Tonsea and other relate language. Tondano is an endangered language spoken by approximately 9,000 speakers Lake Tondano area, Minahasa regency on north peninsula, North Sulawesi province. Because Bahasa Indonesia and also the Malay Creole spoken in north Sulawesi. It may be that speakers are forgetting the original indigenous systems, and / or confusing it with Manado Malay / Indonesian. Taking information from a FB group called 'Belajar Bahasa Tondano' and some earlier Tondano work by James Sneddon (1975) gives numbers in the teens and 10's being formed slightly differently as in:
11. 'mapulu wo esa'  ('wo' = and/with), 19. mapulu wo siow', 21. 'rua -nga pulu wo esa', 32. 'telu -nga pulu wo rua' ....and so on.
Numbers in the 100's and 1000's are then formed with '-nga atus' and '-nga riwu' as in:
300. 'telu -nga atus', 6000. 'enem -nga riwu'. So, something like 8,567 would be 'ualu -nga riwu (wo) lima -nga atus (wo) enem -nga pulu (wo) pitu'  Note that in the traditional orthographic spellingsː  vowel 'schwa' <e > is equal to IPA [ɘ] and <é > = IPA [ɛ].
