Mansi is a language of a Siberian tribe and has about 3000 speakers. Here some number in the Mansi language:

8: nollow, 15: atxujplow, 49: atlow nopel ontellow, 50: atlow, 99: ontelsat ontellow, 555: xotsatn xotlow nopel at, 900: ontellowsat, 918: ontellowsat nollowxujplow.

according to me

atsatn at-595

nolsat nopel xot-74

ontellowsatn ontellowxujplow-891

58-atlow nollow

80-nollowsat

716-nollowsatn nollowsat ontellow nopel at

80 could maybe be

I love these... since I love languages!!! :D

EDIT:

I was thinking, are you sure that 8

is nollow and not just nol? In that case 80 should be nollow.

nollowlow

I am sure 8 is nollow

Here's my try

atsatn at = 405

nolsat nopel xot = 76

ontellowsatn ontellowxujplow = 819

58 = atlow nollow

80 = nolsat

716 = nollowsatn xotxujplow

You got all correct except 58 is not atlow nollow
