Other comments: Xerénte or Akwẽ-Xerente, Sherenté is spoken by approximately 2,500 speakers in Tocantins state: between Rio do Sono and Rio Tocantins. Xerénte only has four traditional numerals ( 1, 2, 3 and 4), but now the teachers create the other names. They have a peculiar grammatical system for numbers. In general, the Xerente uses the counting concepts with words like: very or many (sakte)), few or little (kture), and so on. The counting are made in a DUAL system, Like I mentioned in my thesis.
