Numbers in Akha

How to count in Akha (Avkavdawv), a Southern Loloish language spoken in China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam. These numbers are written in the McDaniel script for Akha, which was devised in 1950 by Matthew McDaniel, and the Baptist script, which was devised by Paul Lewis. Other orthographies are available.

If any of the numbers are links, you can hear a recording by clicking on them. If you can provide recordings, please contact me.
