Other comments: Uspanteko or Uspanteco is spoken by approximately 5,000 speakers in Quiché department: Chicamán municipio, Las Pacayas village is center; San Miguel Uspantán municipio area, Guatemala. Uspanteko has a vigesimal system. However, the native vigesimal number system is no longer in wide use among any Mayan community, at least for numbers above 20, and outside of certain ritual and calendrical contexts. Spanish numerals are used instead.

Noteː The term k'aal is not used before the third score oxk'aal; However, for the third score this root is used and wunaq cannot be used, which is the one used for the first and second scores. According to the speakers/researchers, k'aal is used only for the third and fifth scores. For the fourth score (80), the term muuch' is used preceded by the numeral one (''jumuuch"). The Mayan counting system is provided up to the number 20, some speakers reach up to 40 and the oldest can count up to 60 or 80, but after this number it would be difficult to find people who know how to count. The reason for this is that for 100 the Spanish loanword preceded by the numeral 'one' is used, like this: jun syenta.
