Other comments: Upper Necaxa Totonac or Totonaco xalac Patla, Totonaco del río Necaxa is spoken by approximately 3,200 speakers in 5,800 eninic population in Puebla state: Cacahuatlán, Chicontla, Patla, and San Pedro Tlalontongo in Necaxa river valley, Mexico. Like many other Mesoamerican languages. Upper Necaxa Totonac

make use of a vigesimal numeral system. The use on Totonac numerals is, on the

whole, on the decline in both Patla and Chicontla dialects and even fluent speakers

regularly use Spanish numbers when speaking to each other. Numbers from 100

up are always in Spanish and most speakers are unable to formulate them in Totonac at all; those that can vary somewhat in the strategies they use ( the most frequent form of 100 being a̰ʔkáux ma̰ʔkáux ' ten times ten' rather than kitsispuʃám 'five-twenties' that the vigesimal system would predict). Numbers under 20 require a classificatory prefix that depends on the shape and, to a lesser extend, the material of the of the object being counted. Note that accent represents stress, not tone; underline tilde represents largynealization.
