a tiny number of

[spanish solicitor]

my question:

a tiny number of engineers and historians

Un numero reducido de ingenieros e historiadores

is correct the translation for a tiny number of...?

Thanksss

En principio es correcto.
Un número reducido
Un reducido número
Un minúsculo número (suena forzado)
Muy pocos

...¿Podrías aportar algo más de contexto para que podamos elegir la opción que podamos considerar más adecuada? Y, ¿podrías decirnos si estás buscando En->Es o Es->En? Si no he entendido mal tratas de traducir tiny number al español pero no me ha quedado claro.

Gracias y un saludo,

Hi everyone!
What a coincidence! I'm reading the same text!! (4 years later)
The whole sentence goes like this:
... These cities also have a mass of secret tunnels and hidden pipes below ground which keep everything working. This other world exists, forgotten or neglected by all but a tiny (1) ............... of engineers and historians.

OPTIONS TO FILL IN THE GAP:
a. number
b. amount
c. total
d. few

The thing is I don't know why amount doesn't fit in here!
maybe it has to do with collocation.
I've heard ' a big amount of ...' or ' a small amount' but a tiny amount... I'm not so sure.

Thanks in advance.
