May have been done before, but I'm interested to see 1 - 10 in your languages :]

If you wish, please do go to 20 and explain how to go yet further than that :D

20,000. δυοмυрιαδα

Now this is somewhat different from our system. For large numbers, zeнα and мυрιαδα are the most important. A hundredfold or tenthousandfold are denoted with a prefix, digits following those (i.e. a ten- or thousandfold) are usually denoted by a suffix.

Let's make something complex!

̔ἑκмυрιαδтεтрεκzeнεнeα = six-tenthousand-four-six-hundred-one-one = 64,611.

And here's a peculiarity:

cαπδeκεнмυрιαδα = seven-ten-one-tenthousand = 710,000; Normally, 10,000 would be simply мυрιαδα, but the cαπδeκ- in front 'takes over' the "one".

You can have 3 of my numerals from my proto-lang, but that's it. Anything beyond the first 5 would just be replaced later anyways.

1. hika
2. kunaki
4. wuja

A rather short list it is.

1 - eha, 2 - atan, 3 - calan, 4 - ríven, 5 - man, 6 - núr, 7 - tire, 8 - pene, 9 - éve.
Since Ríhannen has a system based on nine, to say "ten" is to say "one-and-nine": ehéve. Following the same principle, we get: 11 (2+9) - atanéve, 12 (3+9) - calanéve, etc. Until we get to 18 which is yonda. Then we have yondeha (19), yondatan (20), yonda-calan (21) etc.

A recent conlang attempt of mine known as Hngrat uses base-5 with distinct words for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10 and 20. There are a number of different ways for deriving numbers other than this and below is one of a number of these methods known simply as the "addition method":

1: t'er (1)
2: mpal (2)
3: cow (3)
4: lap (4)
5: khrat (5)
6: khrat-(p'yg)-t'er (5+1)
7: khrat-(p'yg)-mpal (5+2)
8: khrat-(p'yg)-cow (5+3)
9: khrat-(p'yg)-lap (5+4)
10: ntaj (10)
11: ntaj-(p'yg)-t'er (10+1, 21)
15: ntaj-(p'yg)-khrat (10+5)
16: ntaj-(p'yg)-khrat-(p'yg)-t'er (10+5+1)
20: hom (20)
21: hom-(p'yg)-t'er (20+1)
25: hom-(p'yg)-khrat (20+5)
26: hom-(p'yg)-khrat-(p'yg)-t'er (20+5+1)
30: hom-(p'yg)-ntaj (20+10)
35: hom-(p'yg)-ntaj-(p'yg)-khrat (20+10+5)
36: hom-(p'yg)-ntaj-(p'yg)-khrat-(p'yg)-t'er (20+10+5+1)
40: mpal-hom (2*20)
50: mpal-hom-(py'g)-ntaj ((2*20)+10)
55: mpal-hom-(py'g)-ntaj-(p'yg)-khrat ((2*20)+10+5)
56: mpal-hom-(py'g)-ntaj-(p'yg)-khrat-(p'yg)-t'er ((2*20)+10+5+1)
60: cow-hom (3*20)
70: cow-hom-(p'yg)-ntaj ((3*20)+10)
80: lap-hom (4*20)
90: lap-hom-(p'yg)-ntaj ((4*20)+10)
100: khrat-hom (5*20)
110: khrat-hom-(p'yg)-ntaj ((5*20)+10)

c=/ts/, Ch=C/_h/, NP=prenasalised consonant, y=/@/, g=/N/, j=/j/ C'=C/_>/

Which method is in use varies from region to region.

I have one main one I'd like to share.

Kaynur Pitak, spoken by almost-completely-sentient lion-like felines, therefore, the number system is based on the four fingers on one paw. To make it comprehensible, the language is approximated to human speech norms:

(No phonetic transcription unless someone asks. Too difficult... *is a lazy bum*)
sin - one
tul - two
en - three
way - four
sinway - five
tulway - six
enway - seven
sinenway - eight
tulenway - nine
enenway - ten
... It gets ridiculous from here, but the Kaynur ikuni (the Kaynur lions) are not too keen on counting any higher.

(Yes, I know. It's a completely ridiculous idea. Leave it alone. The readers of the story this language is central to don't need to know that...)

I would also post the technical numbers of my proto-langs Yglal and another unnamed one (which is a pidgin of Yglal and the non-native speakers' own innovations; I'll call it OP [oldest pidgin] for now), but by the speakers' logic, all that needs to be counted (like married person or children) has an inherent plural in its root form, that is, the simple root "nini"or child, inherently means three children, and to bring into singular, the only real numeral in the whole language, one, or "pal", has to be used. The number three was chosen because the average family of the speakers of OP was usually five members: a mother, a father, and their three children. More or less than that number was discouraged.

The rest of my most developed languages are a posteriori, therefore quite unremarkable: Romlangs, Celtlangs, Swahililangs, Old Englangs, blah blah blah.

Duodecimal counting in Agyonnar:

seno - Zero
ena - One
deva - Two
tori - Three
tia - Four
pano - Five
semo - Six
saye - Seven
dosi - Eight
mona - Nine
zane - Ten
balo - Eleven
ezar - Twelve
ezarin - 144

Numbers bigger than 12 use a system similar to our decimal counting system, but spoken and reversed. For example,

13 - ena ena (11 in base 12)
14 - deva ena
15 - tori ena

Powers of 12 can be specified by placing the power after ezar, with any numbers described before ezar coming before. For example:

zane balo zane ezar balo - 743,008,372,270.

Fractions are done with Denominator ratsaro (to split) Numerator.

tia ratsaro saye ena - 19/4 (4.75)

Agyon can also express algebraics (and know of the existence of transcendentals).

Number alen (origin) Root.

Square root is the default. deva alen = sqrt(2), deva alen tori = cube root of 3.

The Agyon also understand cardinality and can name the beth numbers like so:

Natural number amotaion (Infinity). So seno amotaion = Beth 0, or the cardinality of the natural numbers.

Pekna is fairly simple and uses base ten. (copying from the other thread):

0. Enta
1. Ro
2. Tuo
3. Tse
4. Tsera
5. Pet
6. Set
7. Sdem
8. And
9. Deve
10. Dese

From 11 to 99 just use the number of tens (deset), plus the number is units.

11. Desero
12. Desetuo
13. Desetse
20. Tuodeset
21. Tuodesetro
22. Tuodesettuo
23. Tuodesettse
30. Tsedeset
31. Tsedesetro
32. Tsedesettuo
33. Tsedesettse
40. Tseradeset
41. Tseradesetro …

You can build on 100 (kroj) the same way as dese.

100 = Kroj
101 = Krojro
102 = Krojtuo
200 = Tuokrojt
201 = Tuokrojtro
202 = Tuokrojtuo
1000 = Kvesa
1001 = Kvesaro
1002 = Kvesatuo
