Toki Pona nanpa-linja-n decimal number system ilo pi pana nanpa

 
 
Welcome to the Toki Pona nanpa-linja-n decimal number system.
At last, nanpa-linja-n offers an elegant solution to the challenge of representing and communicating decimal numbers consistently. kama pona tawa lipu ilo pi nasin nanpa-linja-n pi nanpa linja n pi toki pona.

Overview

nanpa-linja-n encodes decimal numbers as proper names. In sitelen pona, these names are written inside numeric cartouches.
The content of a nanpa-linja-n cartouche is a pure encoding. Each decimal digit—and each numeric delimiter, such as a decimal point—has a designated sitelen pona glyph and a corresponding Latin-letter representation. This mapping is unique and reversible, allowing the original decimal sequence to be reconstructed exactly from either form.
nanpa-linja-n does not introduce any new Toki Pona words or add anything to the Toki Pona lexicon. It is a notation system only. Any “words” discussed below are identifier strings, or proper-name labels, derived from the encoded cartouche. When a nanpa-linja-n proper name is written in the Latin alphabet, each word begins with a capital letter.
The ten Toki Pona letters i, w, t, s, a, l, u, m, p, and j represent the decimal digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, respectively, within numeric cartouches.
The letters n and e are used to structure the encoding and make the proper name derived from the cartouche pronounceable. The letters o and k, used in various combinations, represent numeric punctuation and delimiters, such as the decimal point.
Every letter in the Toki Pona Latin alphabet therefore has a distinct function within nanpa-linja-n.

A simple example

How is 125 written as a nanpa-linja-n proper name?
Every nanpa-linja-n proper name for a number begins with Ne- and ends with -n. Each decimal digit maps to a unique Toki Pona Latin letter, which is expressed in the proper name using a designated syllable.
Using the relaxed mapping described below:
  • 1 → w → wa
  • 2 → t → tu
  • 5 → l → lu
These syllables are concatenated between the initial Ne- and the final -n:
Ne + wa + tu + lu + n → Newatulun
Therefore, the nanpa-linja-n proper name for 125 is Newatulun.
See the decimal-to-cartouche diagram for a more detailed example.
The decimal number renderer can render any decimal number and produce an audio pronunciation. The encoding of decimal points and other numeric punctuation, together with the strict and relaxed digit mappings, is explained with examples on this page and in detail in the nanpa-linja-n main documentation .
To communicate "007", say "Neninimun".
(It is very easy to encode decimal digit sequences and preserve leading and trailing zeros.)

nanpa-linja-n mode nasin pi nanpa-linja-n

This table shows which syllables are allowed for each decimal digit when reading and writing a nanpa-linja-n proper name. In strict mode, each digit has only one accepted syllable. For example, digit 1 uses we, digit 2 uses te, and digit 3 uses se. In relaxed mode, some digits can also use extra syllables that mean the same digit. For example, digit 1 can use we or wa, digit 7 can use me or mu, and digit 8 can use pe or pi. The e, a, i, and u columns show the accepted syllables for each digit. The large glyph column shows the main sitelen pona glyph used for that digit. The small glyph row shows the small glyph associated with each vowel column.
In relaxed mode, for example, we will accept Nemun, as well as Nemen, to represent the number 7.
