How to count in Lengo, a Southeast Solomonic spoken on the island of Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands.
There are two sets of numbers in Lengo: one set is used for everyday use, and the other is used in stories. The latter numbers are in italics below.
If any of the numbers are links, you can hear a recording by clicking on them. If you can provide recordings, please contact me.
