Other comments: Yaminahua or Yamanawa is spoken by approximately 1,951 speakers in Madre de Dios and Ucayali regions; Mapuya, and Mishagua, and Yuruá, Peru as well as Brazil and Bolivia. Yaminahua has two words as numbers, they have borrowed the counting system of Spanish now. Their traditional base forms are: fisti ''one', rafe 'two'', mẽke ''hand''( Rio Breu dialect); wistɨ, rawɨ and mɨ̃kɨ̃ wisti(ti) (Purus dialect).

Note 1ː Numbers 6-7 are not generally agreed upon by speakers, but I've provided the

        most common responses from older speakers below -- many speakers do not

        recognize numerals above 5 (except for 10)]

Note 2ː numbers above 10 are not normally used, but some speakers did report a form

        for 11: mɨ̃kɨ̃ rawɨ nõ taɨ wisti (two hands and one from the foot); 15: mɨ̃kɨ̃ rawɨ

        nõ taɨ wisti tii (two hands plus one (whole?) foot.); and 20:  mɨ̃kɨ̃ rawɨ nõ taɨ

        rawɨ tii (two hands and two feet).]
