Thanks for watching everyone. It means a lot. :)

[justwobert]

sidenote, the number system isn't the best for dyslexics because of it having a lot of very similar symbols. I might have a go at creating a conlang that would be as easy as possible to read

[mosconirmg]

One thing I like about this notation: is easier to "write" numbers on stones, or any other hard material.

In fantasy settings, that is what I spec to be in "dwarven math"

[Zosso-]

I guess pattern recognition is geometry now lol

[shybound]

0:57 yo thats me, i never expected to be featured in an artifexian video thx so much

[DangStank]

No joke, I’m watching this in a parking lot and i looked up into my mirror. I saw a license plate that starts with 7777 and was like “WOAH! You can get these crazy numbers on license plates?”

Also I’m super glad he explained larger numbers in greater detail

[Alice-grkb]

I'm just imagining the Katovik Iñupiaq inventors are like "woah these are really famous now"

Also I hope people will learn about the featural abugidas of the Arctic peoples

I'm coming back years later to say thank you. I've been working to revitalize my language, another indigenous one (Abenaki), for years. We also have a penta-vigesimal system in our language and using the Kaktovik numerals has made teaching it so much easier:
Our first five break down into: abstract, animate, inanimate:

Pazekw, pazgo, pazgwen (One, s/he is one, it is one); \
Nis, nisoak, nisnol (Two, they are two, those are two); \/
Nas, nloak, nhenol; \/\
Iaw, iawak, iawnol; \/\/
Nôlan, nonnoak, nonnenol; -

But then we go into + -ôz(ek):
Ngwedôz (a single + 5) -> 6; -\
tôbawôz (a double + 5) -> 7; -\/
Nsôzek -> (three + 5) -> 8; -\/\
Noliwi -> one short of the next ; -\/\/
Mdala -> ten; >

Continue to -ônkaw:
Ngwedônkaw; >\ (11)
Nisônkaw; >\/ (12)
Nsônkaw; >\/\ (13)
Iawônkaw; >\/\/ (14)
Nônônkaw; z (15)

Then back to: + -ôzek + -ônkaw (literally kassônkaw "So many -ônkaws"):
ngwedôz kasônkaw; z\ (a single + 5 + so many teens) (16)
Tôbawôz kasônkaw; z\/ (a double + 5 + so many teens) (17)
nsôzek kasônkaw; z\/\ (3 + 5 + so many teens) (18)
noliwi kasônkaw; z\/\/ (falling short of the next + so many teens)
Nisinska: |o (two pair of hands; two units of 10) (20)

Then they hold steady until hundred (Ngwedatgua), thousand (ngwedômkwaki), million (kchinguedômkwaki).

The thumbnail: "FU"
Me: "ok, rude"
:P

Ha, he says "Maths without maths" when sound is just the wave functions of air to create frequencies. Sound is obviously math.


Seriously people need to chill out.

[NightClawprower]

Huh, I'm already subbed to you, but that made me respect you more than before, answering to comments and owning up to mistakes made (and recognizing when the fault isn't yours too), it's really nice! I'm a fan of world building (I've been building worlds since the age of 7, but it kinda slowed down because no one but me recognized it was a concrete thing) so you can be sure I'll watch more of your videos!

[SyoaranBarker]

I love this numbering system, and kind of wish I had thought of it when I was doing my worldbuilding. I did something sort of similar: I gave every prime number in the base digits a unique symbol, and every other digit is built out of those. Not quite featural, nor as clean and simple as these, but I'm still fairly proud of it. (I did stay boring base-10, but I'm okay with being boring)

[MohammedAli-hlmr]

glad you cleared stuff up, the previous vid was rather short and left me with a lot of questions so thanks for making a follow vid and for addressingf the comments that some people.

[mathiasmaranhao]

I guess that your goal was about the "Hangul" of numbers.

[sangetube]

Very interesting thanks for making the video. Reminds me of Asian children being taught with the abacus, they develop "muscle memory" in their hands from moving the beads. They end up being able to do math as instinctively as most people use a pen.

[water]

I should've sent in my "baseless numeral system" or more accurately, base 4 additionative numeral system.

That and my infinite numeral system (specifically designed for infinites and the various kinds).

7:05 "Have a wonderful 2020"
Mission failed.

[smileyp]

I love how respectful this is for a follow up that instead of saying "follow up" has a big "FU" in the thumbnail 😂

[florianm]

I thought about it and found very simple methods to do any substraction (even with x – y where x < y) and multiplication.
And if you know how to divide with an abacus, it works the same way.
So yes, it makes maths REALLY easier.

[manlylego]

You're last video got me infatuated with the kaktovik Iñupiaq numbers I love your content please keep I up

[FpYshCn]

I once made a hangeul inspired featural numeral system. It had both easy recognition of numbers, but you also grouped every 100 into a block, so it was possible to get up to 999 with just one character.
ㅇ = 0, ㅣ= 1, ㅡ = 2, ㄱ = 6, and ㄴ = 8, 이 = 10, 잉 = 100, 댱 = 590, etc
(my symbols weren't the same as in hangeul, but I used it to demonstrate the logic).
