Other comments: Vwanji or Wanji, Bavwanji, Kivwanji is spoken by approximately

41,000 Njombe region: Makete district, Kipengere mountain range, Tanzania.

Vwanji has a decimal system. The Vwanji words used for 7, 8 and 9 have the following meanings:  budika=fist, lʊbale=side, lekela=to concede / leave, kʷoːni=both. According to Mahali who supplied the data, it’s to do with the way they count on their fingers. He wasn’t sure exactly how it works though and said he’ll ask some older Vwanji people. Note that stress always occurs on the antepenultimate mora- when the stress falls on a long vowel this results in a falling pitch pattern.
