| Description | The numerals of the first decade, “100” and “1000”, are very uniform in the Turkic languages and the existing differences are caused practically only by the different phonetic development in the individual languages. Contrary to the numerals of the first decade, “100” and “1000”, the numerals designating tens offer interesting differences. On the one hand, there are apparently archaic forms for the numerals “20”, “30”, “40”and “50”, appearing in all old Turkic languages recorded before the 14th cent. and also in the most deviant Bulgar-Čuvaš (Chuvash) branch. For these numerals it is characteristic no apparent relation to the numerals “2”, “3”, “4” a “5”. It is a relatively rare situation, with analogy in (some) Korean tens and also in Old Egyptian, including Coptic. But also in the Turkic languages there are transparent decadic forms, besides the forms with the base “20” (Karačai-Balkar / Karachay), but also “50” (Salar, Khalaj). |
