Wot, no Hausa? Daya, Bu, Ooku, Fudu, Beart, Shida, Buwai, Tukwus, Tara, Goma (spelling is totally phonetic, I have no idea how these are actually spelled).

I have no idea how they can have Igbo, Fulani and Yoruba but not Hausa. http http://www.zompist.com/niger.htm linked off http http://www.zompist.com/numbers.shtml …

d`aya, biyu, ukù, hud`u, bìyar, shidà, bakwài, takwàs, tarà, go:ma.

No problem, since it’s the short term memory that goes first . . . .
