Please direct me to the other references that list numerals as a word class in the English language. Expressions such as "class of words" or "functional class" etc. should not be summarily interpreted as "part of speech". There are nine clearly defined parts of speech in the English language (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, conjunctions, prepositions, interjections and, most recently, determiners). To allude that numerals are a "part of speech" simply because a few authors refer to them as a "class" is beyond presumptuous! Nonetheless, I do not claim to be always right so I would highly appreciate it if you could show me the authorities that have enthroned numerals as one of the parts of speech. I might yet be enlightened! 76.30.178.32 (talk) 03:37, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
