Number Similarities in Pacific Island Languages

Hafa Adai! It is interesting to note that there are number similarities in Pacific Island languages. In fact, this was noted by H. Costenoble's "The Family Tree of Chamorro," and Cunningham (1992) also reported this in his book titled, "Ancient Chamorro Society."

Here's a snapshot of these number similarities:

I look forward to engaging in more research that will provide additional details on the similarities.
