Other comments:  Xiandao or Chintau has a decimal system. Xiandao borrow Tai numerals from 11 to 20, the numbers higher than twenty are formed by mixing indigenous terms with Tai numerals. The Xiandao language (Xiandao: Chintau [kʰan³¹tau³¹]; Chinese: 仙岛) is an endangered Burmish language spoken by approximately 40-70 speakers of the Xiandao people who live at the border area between Myanmar and Yunnan, China. It is closely related to the Achang language and is considered by many scholars to be an Achang dialect, due to similarities in syntax and vocabulary. This is one way in which Xiandao can be described. The second is as an independent language due to the social and cultural differences between the Xiandao and Achang people.  Xiandao is a minority language spoken in Yingjiang County, Yunnan Province, China near the border of Myanmar.
