Other comments: Twendi has a quianry, decimal numeral system similar to that of Kwanja. Twendi speakers are bilingual in Kwanja. The language appears to be diminishing in use. There were missing terms for the compound numbers and 60, 200 and 2000. Twendi is a moribund language only spoken by 30 older adults (2000 B. Connell) out of 1,000 ethnic population in Adamawa region: Mayo-Banyo division, Sanga village north of Bankim, Cameroon. Most speakers shifted to Kwanja language now.
