.
  • Tsolyáni numbers are made of a root, to which we add a suffix. There are noble and ignoble suffixes (respectively koi and kh), a suffix designating a whole (kh: gabí-kh, “all six”), another for plural numbers (yal: gabíyal, “six (of a bigger group)”). Adjectives are marked by the suffix n if the root ends with a vocal, and in if it ends with a consonant. They are used for abstract counting.
  • Digits roots from zero to nine are sǘdh [0], prú [1], [2], [3], mrí [4], tló [5], gabí [6], hrú [7], gámi [8], and prútle [9]. From them, we can form the digits from zero to nine: sǘdhin [0], prún [1], gán [2], bín [3], mrín [4], tlón [5], gabín [6], hrún [7], gámin [8], and prútlen [9].
  • Tens roots sometimes include the root of the multiplier digit: tlé [10], sémru [20], bílu [30], sím [40], haló [50], latsá [60], hrunál [70], gamál [80], and prutleníl [90]. From these roots, we can form the following tens: tlén [10], sémrun [20], bílun [30], símin [40], halón [50], latsán [60], hrunálin [70], gamálin [80], and prutlenílin [90].
  • Compound numbers are formed starting with the unit root, directly followed by the ten with no space with its adjective suffix (e.g.: gabìbílun [36], gámihalón [58]).
  • Hundreds are formed prefixing the root for hundred (mriktá) by the multiplier root, except for one hundred, and suffixing it with the adjective suffix (i)n: mriktán [100], gámriktán [200], bímriktán [300], mrìmriktán [400], tlómriktán [500], gabímriktán [600], hrúmriktán [700], gámimriktán [800], and prútlemriktán [900].
  • Compound hundreds are formed starting with the unit, the ten, or the compound ten, then the hundred separated with a space, each group bearing the adjective suffix (i)n (e.g.: tlón gámriktán [205], gabìbílun mrìmriktán [436] (36 400)).
  • Thousands are formed prefixing the root for thousand (tauknél) by the multiplier root, except for one thousand, and suffixing it with the adjective suffix (i)n: tauknélin [1,000], gátauknélin [2,000], bítauknélin [3,000], mrìtauknélin [4,000], tlótauknélin [5,000], gabítauknélin [6,000], hrútauknélin [7,000], gámitauknélin [8,000], and prútletauknélin [9,000].
  • Big compound numbers are formed starting with the unit, the ten, or the compound ten, then the hundred separated with a space, then the thousand separated with a space, and so on with each scale number, each group bearing the adjective suffix (i)n (e.g.: gabìbílun mrìmriktán gabìtauknélin [6,436] (36 400 6,000)).
  • The Tsolyáni language has a root for ten thousand: tsólotl. Ten thousands are formed following the same pattern as hundreds and thousands: tsólotlin [10,000], gátsólotlin [20,000], bítsólotlin [30,000]…
  • The root for million is yürdǘn, on which we can form yürdǘnin [1 million], gáyürdǘnin [2 millions], bíyürdǘnin [3 millions]…
