Zhuang numbers
The Zhuang numbers languages are any of more than a dozen Tai languages spoken by the Zhuang people. In Southern China in the province of Guangxi and adjacent parts of Yunnan and Guangdong. The Zhuang languages do not form a monophyletic linguistic unit. As northern and southern Zhuang languages are more closely related to other Tai languages than to each other. Northern Zhuang languages form a dialect continuum with Northern Tai varieties across the provincial border in Guizhou. Which are designated as Bouyei, whereas Southern Zhuang languages form another dialect continuum with Central Tai varieties. Such as Nung, Tay and Caolan in Vietnam. Standard Zhuang is based on the Northern Zhuang dialect of Wuming.

Beyond 20, the modern Zhuang numerals use a combination of symbols to represent numbers. I’ve only included up to 100 in the table, but the pattern continues similarly for higher numbers.
