Bacama language
Bacama (Bachama) is an Afro-Asiatic language of the Chadic branch that is spoken in Nigeria in Adamawa State principally in the Numan, Demsa and Lamurde Local Government Areas by the Bwatiye people. The Dialects are Mulyen, Opalo, and Wa-Duku. Bachama-Yimburu appears to be a closely related but distinct language. Bachama is used as a trade language. It is often considered the same language as Bata.
Numerals
Bachama has a decimal/quinary number system, with both 5 and 10 as bases: 8 is 4-4, 6 and 7 are based on adding to 5, and 9 means '(10) less 1'.
