Other comments: Central Tunebo or U’wa, Uw Cuwa, Cobaría Tunebo, Uwa-Tunebo is spoken by approximately 2,500 speakers in Arauca and Boyacá departments: Calafita, Cobaría (Boyacá), Satocá, Tegría (Boyacá) on north slopes of Sierra Nevada de Cocuy; Santander department: Capitanejo and Carcasi municipalities, Colombia as well as Venezuela.  Central Tunebo has a decimal system up to ninety. When they get to 100 they use Spanish.  Actually they use Spanish quite a bit in numbers over ten but we are quite certain of the other numbers. It is interesting that they were quite good at math and could easily figure in their heads that if one bag cost 25 pesos three bags were 75 pesos. We heard mothers teaching very young children to count. Tunebo is a tonal language with two tonesː high tone with an acute mark v́ and low tone unmarked, and note the following conversions between traditional phonetic symbols and IPA transcriptionsː 1. c = IPA [k], 2. y = IPA [j]
