Binary is a base, not a language or an alphabet. So I don't think that fits in here, thanks anyway. Thanks everyone else as well. I am still thinking what to do with this...

On the upside, Dr. Trout has finally found a means to express himself in this thread without getting moderated

How about the internationally accepted radio-telephony language of aerodrome users (with my attempts at pronunciation):

zero (zir-ro)
one (wun)
two (too)
tree (tree)
four (fow-er)
fifer (fife-er
six (sicks)
seven (sev'n)
eight (ate)
niner (nine-er)
one-zero (wun zir-ro)

I know this is going to seem really petty, but there is a slight mistake with the Spanish 1-10. Quatro (four) should be Cuatro. That is if your using European Spanish, I don't know if American Spanish is different. Anyways, this is looking quite good apart from that, so well done

Eh - I think I'm the one who contributed with the numbers in Spanish...

* to check backlog*

Phew! I had spelled it cuatro - but I didn't check that it was put into the entry correctly!

This looks like it will take ages as my postes are still awaiting moderation.

Have you mentioned it to one of the Italics, DD?

Hey it ain't my article for a chage.

And Sam should be able to verify the Japanese. And youp would think they'd know I'd thoruoghly researched m,y contributions.

Yes I've got two modded. It seems very slack.

what about Malay? similar to Indonesian but I am not sure how they spell theirs...

Satu
Dua
Tiga
Empat
Lima
Enam
Tujuh
Lapan
Sembilan
Sepuluh

*sighs*
The mods have been quite busy here... Funnily enough numbers in estonian are still here. What a pity they didn't fit in the entry though.

just replying to a very earlier point - this would all look good in a table and tables are allowed in edited entries.

Just in case this does go ahead, here's *s-cedilla* and the *dotless-i* for the turkish 5 and 6

This isn't in <./>GuideML-Characters</.> but maybe it should be, esp with the Eorozone swelling evermore

And how about mentioning the zeroes (something the Romans didn't have AFAIK) <?>

Hmm.... Anyone know how to do the letter between 'n' and 'o' in spanish. It's an 'n' with a squiggle above it, but can't figure how to write it in GuideML...
Oberon2001

The Ñ and ñ *are* in <./>GuideML-Characters</.>

&Ntilde; OR Ñ

&ntilde; OR ñ

NB the semi-colons are part of the code for each character, rather than me punctuating badly

Sorry I haven't been replying here in a while. I am going to remove the from CWW, with that site having done it all anyway, I don't see much point. If anyone disagrees and wants to do it themselves, please feel free.

Thanks for you help everyone.

Why not have the 10 'Most Wanted' here, and a link to the site with the rest?

could be a cool entry...
