Other comments: Xamtanga has a decimal system. The number 'thousand' is a loan from Amharic. Xamtanga like most Cushitic languages are tonal, but of a rather specific type, quite unlike East Asian languages like Chinese for instance. They are They are better described as pitch-accent languages. I give the x́ marks stresses syllable with high pitch. Xamtanga (also Agawinya, Khamtanga, Xamir) is a Central Cushitic language spoken in Ethiopia by the Xamir people with approximately 200,000 speakers . |
