words for numbers in Slavic languages


Like English, the Slavic languagesPlanetmathPlanetmath derive most of their words for integers from a few words for the numbers 1 to 9 and selected powers of 10.

Also like English, the teens 10<n<20 get their own irregular words which don’t follow the pattern established for 20<n<100. However, these words are irregular in different ways among the different languages. Note also the special Russian word for 40, whereas most of the other Slavic languages use a word which is obviously “four tens.”

The Slavic languages developed from Old Russian and Church Slavonic, adapting the Greek alphabet for their own purposes, coming up with the Cyrillic alphabet.

Modern Russian is of course written in the Cyrillic alphabet, which is still used for some of the other slavic languages. PlanetMath has facilities for including Russian text in entries, however, for the sake of easier comparison, I’ve decided to transliterate the Russian words to the Roman alphabet. Note however that I’ve tried to do so as a speaker of some Slavic language would do, and not as an English-speaker.

If it’s not too much of a digression, I’d like to mention that the Slavic languages using the Roman alphabet are fairly consistent about using “c” only for a “ts” sound (any other sound being indicated by the additionPlanetmathPlanetmath of a diacritical mark). The cited books have much more detailed information on pronunciation than can be given here.

In the following table, the first word given is the cardinal (e.g., “twelve”), and if a second word is given, it’s the ordinalMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath (e.g., “twelfth”).

In Serbo-Croat, they say “comma” where we would say “point,” reflecting the European preference for the decimal comma instead of our decimal point. For example, 3.5 = “tri koma pet.” The fractions in Serbo-Croat are as irregular as in most other languages. A few examples:
