This is an overview of number systems in various Azirian languages.

Jarda

In Jarda, numbers can be represented in any base which is convenient, up to base 12.

  • 1: ju [ju]
  • 2: řal [ɻal]
  • 3: đağ [ɟaɣ]
  • 4: kun [kun]
  • 5: raz [raz]
  • 6: kóv [kov]
  • 7: noś [nɔɕ]
  • 8: řóm [ɻom]
  • 9: kóř [koɻ]
  • 10: jum [jum]
  • 11: vaź [vaʑ]
  • 12: źév [ʑev]

Jirra

The Jirra language is related to Lindiga. Compare these numbers with the corresponding Lindiga words:

  • 1: swai [sʷai]
  • 2: koči [kotʃi]
  • 3: miči [mitʃi]
  • 4: sirwi [siɾʷi]
  • 5: ngwëswi [ŋwəzʷi]
  • 6: issi [issʲi]
  • 7: xasci [xasci]
  • 8: kwasi [kʷazʲi]
  • 9: ütti [ʉttʲi]
  • 10: cië [ciə]

Lindiga

  • 1: rsai [ʂɛi]
  • 2: koti [kɔʧi]
  • 3: miti [miʧi]
  • 4: siři [ʃiɽi]
  • 5: ngüorsi [ŋuəʐi]
  • 6: issi [iʃʃi]
  • 7: chaski [xaski]
  • 8: pasi [paʒi]
  • 9: ykki [ykki]
  • 10: kie [kiə]

Lindiga is also the source for basic numbers in the Minza language: šei, koči, miči, širi, ňuoži, iši, xaski, paži, yki, kie.

Siralla

Siralla numbers use base 8:

  • 1: ik [ik]
  • 2: nar [nar]
  • 3: gar [ɡar]
  • 4: zek [zɛk]
  • 5: chek [tʃɛk]
  • 6: rev [rɛv]
  • 7: yel [jɛl]
  • 8: kemel [kɛmɛl]

Numbers after 8 add the suffix -mel: ikmel "nine", narmel "ten", etc.

Tirelat

Tirelat uses base 12.

  • 1: lii [liː]

  • 9: lañu [laŋu]
  • 10: nidi [nidi]

Virelli

Virelli, as is typical of Zireen languages, uses base 8.

  • 1: hú [hú]
  • 2: zá [zá]
  • 3: néri [néʐì]
  • 4: ņa’i [ɲàʔì]
  • 5: séða [séðà]
  • 6: háka [hákà]
  • 7: gira [ɣìʐà]
  • 8: hļú [ɬʲú]

Vizaki

Another Zireen language which uses base 8.

  • 1: a [a]
  • 2: ti [ti]
  • 3: fhei [hei]
  • 4: nyy [nɨː]
  • 5: šia [ʃia]
  • 6: t'aša [tʼaʃa]
  • 7: yša [ɨʃa]
  • 8: zei [zei]

Zariva

The Zariva number system uses a combination of base 5 and base 7.

The numbers 1-7 are:

  • 1: ai [ai]
  • 2: ilai [ilai] ("twice one")
  • 3: ith [iθ]
  • 4: sai [sai]
  • 5: min [min]
  • 6: minda [minda] ("one more than 5")
  • 7: thú [θuː]

Certain multiples of 5 and 7 have specific names:

  • 10: hi [hi]
  • 15: mist [mist]
  • 25: ming [miŋ]
  • 125: léshek [leːʃɛk]
  • 15,625 (1252): agálik [aɡaːlik]
  • 1,953,125 (1253): nuruthkest [nuruθkɛst]
  • 49: thúsi [θuːsi]

The numbers from 1 to 125 use various combinations of 5 and 7 with the following affixes: an- (one less), adan- (two less), -ra (one more) -rad (two more), il- (twice), ith (3) and sai (4).

  • 8: thúra [θuːra] (7+1)
  • 9: anghi [aŋhi] (10-1)
  • 10: hi [hi]
  • 11: hina [hina] (10+1)
  • 12: hinad [hinad] (10+2)
  • 13: adammist [adammist] (15-2)
  • 14: ilthu [ilθu] (2*7)
  • 15: mist [mist]
  • 16: mistra [mistra] (15+1)
  • 17: mistrad [mistrad] (15+2)
  • 18: mistith [mistiθ] (15+3)
  • 19: mistsai [mistsai] (15+4)
  • 20: mistmin [mistmin] (15+5)
  • 21: ithú [iθuː] (3*7)
  • 22: ithúra [iθuːra] (3*7+1)
  • 23: adamming [adammiŋ] (25-2)
  • 24: amming [ammiŋ] (25-1)
  • 25: ming [miŋ]
  • 26: mingna [miŋna] (25+1)
  • 27: mingnad [miŋnad] (25+2)
  • 28: saithú [saiθuː] (4*7)
  • 29: saithúra [saiθuːra] (4*7+1)
  • 30: ilmist [ilmist] (2*15)
  • 31: ilmistra [ilmistra] (2*15+1)
  • 32: mingthú [miŋθuː] (25+7)
  • 33: mingthúra [miŋθuːra] (25+7+1)
  • 34: amminthú [amminθuː] (5*7-1)
  • 35: minthú [minθuː] (5*7)
  • 36: minthúra [minθuːra] (5*7+1)
  • 37: minthúrad [minθuːrad] (5*7+2)
  • 38: mingadammist [miŋadammist] (25+15-2)
  • 39: mingilthú [miŋilθuː] (25+2*7)
  • 40: mingmist [miŋmist] (25+15)
  • 41: mingmistra [miŋmistra] (25+15+1)
  • 42: mindathú [mindaθuː] (6*7)
  • 43: mindathúra [mindaθuːra] (6*7+1)
  • 44: anithmist [aniθmist] (3*15-1)
  • 45: ithmist [iθmist] (3*15)
  • 46: ithmistra [iθmistra] (3*15+1)
  • 47: adanthúsi [adanθuːsi] (7*7-2)
  • 48: anthúsi [anθuːsi] (7*7-1)
  • 49: thúsi [θuːsi] (7*7)

After 49, multiples of 7 are less frequently used, and it starts to look more like a base-5 system.

Zharranh

Zharranh uses a base 8 system. Numbers 1-8:

  • 1: žar [ʒar]
  • 2: kɭiĵu [kɭiʝu]
  • 3: tiva [tiva]
  • 4: ziđa [zid̪a]
  • 5: niʈa [niʈa]
  • 6: disa [disa]
  • 7: krina [krina]
  • 8: mimi [mimi]

Numbers 9-15 are formed by adding the prefix mi- to numbers 1-8 (e.g. nine is "mižar" and 10 is "mikɭiĵu").
