Numbering rules in Kyrgyz

Here are the rules for writing tens, composite numbers, hundreds, thousands and beyond.

• Numbers from zero to nine are rendered by specific words, namely нөл (nöl) [0], бир (bir) [1], эки (eki) [2 ], үч (üç) [3], төрт (tört) [4], беш (beş) [5], алты (altı) [6], жети (jeti) [7], сегиз (segiz) [8] and тогуз (toguz) [9].
• The tens have specific names from ten to fifty, and their names are based on the root of the multiplier digit from sixty to ninety: он (on) [10], жыйырма (jıyırma) [20], отуз (otuz) [30], кырк (kırk) [40], элүү (elüü) [50], алтымыш (altımış) [60], жетимиш (jetimiş) [70], сексен (seksen) [80] and токсон (tokson) [90].
• Compound numbers are formed starting with the ten, then the unit separated by a space (e.g.: отуз сегиз (otuz segiz) [38], жетимиш беш (jetimiş beş) [75 ]).
• Hundreds are formed by putting the multiplier digit before the word for percent (жүз / jüz), except for percent itself: жүз (jüz) [100], эки жүз (eki jüz) [200], үч жүз (üç jüz) [300], төрт жүз (tört jüz) [400], беш жүз (beş jüz) [500], алты жүз (altı jüz) [600], жети жүз (jeti jüz) [700], сегиз жүз (segiz jüz) [800] (toguz jüz) [900].
• Thousands are formed by putting the multiplier digit before the word for thousand (миң / miŋ), except for thousand itself: миң (miŋ) [1,000], ' 'эки миң (eki miŋ) [2,000], үч миң (üç miŋ) [3,000], төрт миң (tört miŋ) [4,000], беш миң (beş miŋ) [5,000], алты миң (altı miŋ) [6,000], жети миң (jeti miŋ) [7,000], сегиз миң (segiz miŋ) [8,000] and тогуз миң (toguz miŋ) [9,000].
