Other comments: Tsimané, Chimané or Mosetén is spoken by approximately 7,300 speakers out of 8,600 ethnic population in El Beni department: San Miguel de Huachi and Santa Ana de Alto Beni; along Maniqui river; La Paz department: north of La Paz city, Bolivia.

Tsimané or Mosetén has developed a decimal system, but the original

system may have been quinary or based on both a quinary and a decimal system. Some of the numeral forms include derivational marker or other morphemes that are common in the language. Thus 'six' contains the clitic in 'plural', 'seven' seems to be a nominalization by -dye', 'eight' may include the inessive relation marker -khan, and the nine is constructed with araj 'almost' and tyak 'ten'.  The teens are basically constructed with the word for 10 followed by the digit and the verbal jiyu-'pass'. This form is always used in its feminine form with numerals. In this way, 'eleven' is tyak jiris jiyi' [litː ten one pass]. Nowadays, in every speech, the Spanish numerals are preferred in numerals higher than ten.
