Numeral System in Noon

https://mpi-lingweb.shh.mpg.de/numeral/Noon.htm

Description of the Numerical System in the Noon Language of Senegal "Linguist providing data and dateː Dr. Maria Soukka, SOAS, University of London, U.K. / Summer Institute of Linguistics, Senegal, December 10, 1998" "Other comments: Noon has a quinary-decimal system. The alternative form for 'one', wɪtnɔː, is only used in the counting process. Actually, it is very common for the Noon to use pure Wolof or French when counting above the number from 100 onwards."
