The Swadesh list for Elbic. A note on the number entries: the top entry is the traditional, common counting system (a remnant of the Celtic language spoke on Elba before the Roman invasion; currently falling into disuse, preserved only in children's rhymes and various archaicisms), and the bottom entry is the more modern, formal, and commonly used Latin-influenced counting system.
