Numbers in 4,000 languages -- conlangs
Numbers in 4,000 languages -- conlangs
Is Zompist ever going to add more conlangs to his page of numbers 1-10? Or has he abandoned the endeavour of listing them all?

Re: Numbers in 4,000 languages -- conlangs
Why would you do that? There's no scientific use in it, except for documenting "Yeah, people make pseudo languages, these are the pseudo words for their numbers 1..10". Essentially, what Janko Gorenc has already been doing for like 10 years.

As far as I know he never undertook to list *all* conlangs - the focus has always been on natural languages.Xeroderma Pigmentosum wrote:Is Zompist ever going to add more conlangs to his page of numbers 1-10? Or has he abandoned the endeavour of listing them all?
Some of the conlangs Zomp has found and added himself, and others he has included following a request. I don't think he adds to the conlang list regularly.

I also notice I haven't seen many natlang additions lately either.

If you know any languages for which numbers are missing, send the numbers to zompist - I'm convinced he'll be glad to add them.Xeroderma Pigmentosum wrote:I also notice I haven't seen many natlang additions lately either.

The numbers lists are awaiting some attention. I need to revamp the whole thing to directly use Unicode and allow some extra metadata.
