Bogota Counting Worksheet

Originally, the Bogota language had a complex counting system that used special prefixes to refer to different classes of nouns. For example, three sticks would be gdabaí. This counting system is rarely used anymore. Generally either the numerals are used without any prefix now, or else Spanish numbers are used.
