Nahuatl Numbers

Nahuatl is an Uto-Aztecan language. It is the most widely-spoken indigenous language in North America and is primarily spoken in central Mexico. Here are the numbers from one to ten in Nahuatl:

ce 
ome 
yei
nahui
macuilli
chicuace
chicome
chicuei
chiconahui
mahtlactli

Only the word for one, ce, is monosyllabic. The others are polysyllabic. The numbers for six, seven, eight and nine begin with the same syllable. From the list of numbers, it is clear that the vocabulary of Nahuatl is very different from that of Indo-European languages.
