Other comments: Totela has a quinary, decimal numeral system. There are missing terms for the compound numerals, tens, hundreds and thousands. The informant said that the traditional numbers 1 - 4/ 5 and maybe 10 are often be used. Other numbers seem to be almost always in English. The data were collected in Zambia in 2006. |
