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.
