How to count in Heiltsuk (Haiɫzaqvla), a northern Wakashan language spoken in British Colimbia in Canada.
Numbers can take different forms depending on what is being counted. For example: m̓ṇíx̌ƛuƛ = one hollow thing (cup, dish, etc.), m̓ṇx̌sá = one flat thing (sheet of paper, halibut).
If any of the numbers are links, you can hear a recording by clicking on them. If you can provide recordings, please contact me.
