Information about counting in Toba Qom (Qom Laʼaqtac), a Guaicuruan language spoken mainly in Argentina, and also in Bolivia and Paraguay.
Note: the numbers in italics were used in the past. These days, numbers borrowed from Spanish are used. There appear to be several ways to spell the Spanish-derived numbers.
If any of the numbers are links, you can hear a recording by clicking on them. If you can provide recordings, please contact me.
