Niltze ,
Is there any reform for the nahuatl numerical system to render it practical?
Lots of numbers need a mathematical calculation to find the multiples of 20 , 400 , ... which cannot be done instantly .
1999 :
- Nahuatl : (4 x 400 + 19 x 20 + 19) : nahui-centzotli-huan-caxtollin-nahui-cempolli-huan-caxtollin-nahui
or : four (four hundreds) and (fifteen and four) twenties and fifteen and four .
- English : (1000 + 900 + 99 ) : One thousand nine hundred ninety nine .
