You’re looking for a single numeral that means one million as in the Chinese/Japanese 億 means 100,000,000 (one hundred million)?

I’m not sure that exists, but I could explore it.

Would love to do it correctly. I currently use scientific notation, but this is so cool. Thanks

10 would be written with a “10” just as in “Arabic” numerals for English. That’s pronounced LEH most of the time. Eleven (LEH-WUH) would be written 11. 99 is pronounced NAU-LEH-NAU. It is a standard decimal system.

Does 10 have it’s own symbol, or is it 1 and 0 put together? What of others like 11-99, ect…? I’ve been wondering this as I’ve been studying how to count to begin with…

I am still searching the blog for an answer, and I have much, still, to read…though so far it has come up empty.

Nemaiyo

I’ll need you to write to me at skladan {at} korsaya {dot} org to make the request formally through that channel. We can discuss the relevant factors regarding whether I can do it for you or not via regular e-mail better than hear in these comments.

I’m a life long ST fan and after much thought ive decided that i want a tattoo in Vulcan as its the only language i felt was appropriate. However i have no skill with languages what so ever. I was wondering if you would do translation. I’m aware its unlikely but im hopeful.
sincerely

Thank you for your kind words.

Numerals can be found HERE in this article. For dates that are Earth-related, I would just order the digits as DD/MM/YYYY or YYY/MM/DD and then add an -R to the word “date”, which is kinuf, and then t’Terra if it’s to be in prose. To separate the numbers use a dotted circle like ⊙ with a short line leading into it from above and out of it from below.

Names are “capitalized” using a symbol called the ahm-glat. See the “Names and Punctuation” section on THIS PAGE. The main sound of English names that is missing from Golic Vulcan is the /æ/ (“a”) of “cat, bat, sat”. Typically the ah is substituted, but another sound could be better in certain contexts. The main thing is to go by SOUND. There is no C so it would become a K in Carl or an S in Celine. There is no J so it often becomes DZH. My name, Britton, becomes Briht’uhn when spelled in the Vulcan scripts of this site.

You could send the names in an e-mail to skladan ‹at› korsaya ‹dot› org and I could try to help you privately through that route.

Many of the symbols don’t relate to sounds that I can make my family’s names up with. Also when writing number (dates) how would I separate the numbers? eg. 21/09/1986?
Thanks; and your site is amazing!

They touch like the letters do.

Would you connect the first number and go down and connect to the next number? Thank you.
