Notes
Numbers from zero to ten are specific words, namely zèro [0], uno [1], doos/doas [2], tres [3], quattro [4], cinque [5], sèx [6], sèpte [7], òcto [8], nòve [9], and dèce [10].
From eleven to fifteen, numbers are formed from the root of the digit followed by ten: óndece [11], dódece [12], trédece [13], quattórdece [14], quíndece [15]. From sixteen to nineteen, the order is reversed, as the unit is put directly after the ten: decesèx [16], decesèpte [17], deceòcto [18], and decenòve [19].
The tens have specific names based on their multiplier digit root except for ten and twenty: dèce [10], viente [20], trenta [30], quaranta [40], cinquanta [50], sexanta [60], septanta [70], octanta [80], and novanta [90].
Tens and units are linked with et (and), as in trenta et cinque [35].
Hundreds and units are linked together using a hyphen between the multiplier and the hundred word: cènto [100] (plural cèntos), doos-cèntos [200], tres-cèntos [300], quattro-cèntos [400], cinque-cèntos [500]...
The word for thousand is mille. Thousands are formed by connecting the multiplier digit and number using a hyphen, except for one thousand itself: mille [1,000], doos-mille [2,000], tres-mille [3,000], quattro-mille [4,000], cinque-mille [5,000], sèx-mille [6,000], sèpte-mille [7,000], òcto-mille [8,000], nòve-mille [9,000].
The Neolatin language uses the long scale system for big numbers where the naming pattern of the scale words alternates between the suffixes -ione (or -illîone instead of -ilione in a word) and -iardo: milione or millîone (106, million), miliardo (109, billion), bilione or billîone (1012, trillion), biliardo (1015, quadrillion), trilione or trillîone (1018, quintillion), triliardo (1021, sextillion)…
Numbers above one million are plural: doos-miliones (2 * 106, two million), doos-miliardos (2 * 109, two billion), doos-biliones (2 * 1012, two trillion)
