How count in Hakka (客家话), a variety of Chinese originally from northern China that is now spoken the south east of China, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
Note: the pronunciation of the numbers is in the Sixian dialect (四縣腔), a variety of Hakka spoken in Taiwan, particularly in Miaoli County, Taoyuan, Kaohsiung and Pingtung County. The romanization system is Pha̍k-fa-sṳ (白話字), which was developed by missionaries from the Basel Missionary Society in China the 1840s and 1850s. Other varieties of Hakka, and romanization systems, are available.
