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
  • 2: řal
  • 3: đağ
  • 4: kun
  • 5: raz
  • 6: kóv
  • 7: noś
  • 8: řóm
  • 9: kóř
  • 10: jum
  • 11: vaź
  • 12: źév

Jirra

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

  • 1: swai
  • 2: koči
  • 3: miči
  • 4: sirwi
  • 5: ngwëswi
  • 6: issi
  • 7: xasci
  • 8: kwasi
  • 9: ütti
  • 10: cië

Lindiga

  • 1: rsai
  • 2: koti
  • 3: miti
  • 4: siři
  • 5: ngüorsi
  • 6: issi
  • 7: chaski
  • 8: pasi
  • 9: ykki
  • 10: kie

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
  • 2: nar
  • 3: gar
  • 4: zek
  • 5: chek
  • 6: rev
  • 7: yel
  • 8: kemel

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

Tirelat

Tirelat uses base 12.

  • 1: lii
  • 2: dłaa
  • 3: kim
  • 4: reega
  • 5: vakki
  • 6: zem
  • 7: telił

  • 9: lañu
  • 10: nidi
  • 11: foža

Virelli

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

  • 1: hú
  • 2: zá
  • 3: néri
  • 4: ņa’i

  • 6: háka
  • 7: gira

  • 2: ti
  • 3: fhei
  • 4: nyy
  • 5: šia
  • 6: t'aša
  • 7: yša
  • 8: zei

Zariva

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

The numbers 1-7 are:

  • 1: ai
  • 2: ilai ("twice one")
  • 3: ith
  • 4: sai
  • 5: min
  • 6: minda ("one more than 5")

Certain multiples of 5 and 7 have specific names:

  • 10: hi
  • 15: mist
  • 25: ming
  • 125: léshek
  • 15,625 (1252): agálik
  • 1,953,125 (1253): nuruthkest
  • 49: thúsi

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 (7+1)
  • 9: anghi (10-1)
  • 10: hi
  • 11: hina (10+1)
  • 12: hinad (10+2)
  • 13: adammist (15-2)
  • 14: ilthu (2*7)
  • 15: mist
  • 16: mistra (15+1)
  • 17: mistrad (15+2)

  • 26: mingna (25+1)
  • 27: mingnad (25+2)

  • 29: saithúra (4*7+1)
  • 30: ilmist (2*15)
  • 31: ilmistra (2*15+1)
  • 32: mingthú (25+7)
  • 33: mingthúra (25+7+1)
  • 34: amminthú (5*7-1)
  • 35: minthú (5*7)
  • 36: minthúra (5*7+1)
  • 37: minthúrad (5*7+2)
  • 38: mingadammist (25+15-2)
  • 39: mingilthú (25+2*7)
  • 40: mingmist (25+15)
  • 41: mingmistra (25+15+1)
  • 42: mindathú (6*7)
  • 43: mindathúra (6*7+1)

  • 47: adanthúsi (7*7-2)
  • 48: anthúsi (7*7-1)
  • 49: thúsi (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
  • 2: kɭiĵu
  • 3: tiva
  • 4: ziđa
  • 5: niʈa
  • 6: disa
  • 7: krina
  • 8: mimi

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