Vietnamese numerals

Among other languages ​​of the synosphere , for example, Japanese and Korean, it is also usually the use of either the original or the Chinese system of counting, and the borrowed one is in greater use. In the Vietnamese language , the Chinese system is less widespread. Numbers from one to a thousand are usually expressed in Vietnamese, and only large numbers, for example, a million ( Vietnamese. Triệu , t -nom 兆 , in Chinese means “trillion”) are usually used in the Chinese version.

The modern Vietnamese language is written in modified Latin Kuokunga , and in texts written more than a hundred years ago, they were written with hieroglyphs in Chinese characters and adapted characters for writing the Vietnamese language in dark . And the first to write Chinese numbers, and the second - Vietnamese.

Unlike other nations of the synosphere , the Vietnamese distinguish three characters in the category, in contrast to the Chinese, Koreans and Japanese, who consider tens of thousands to be the second category:

100000 ( Chinese trade. 10 万 , 10 × 10 000);

100000 ( Japanese 10 万 , 10 × 10,000) ;

100000 ( 100 𠦳 , 100 × 1000) .

The number 123123123 in Vietnamese will be written as follows:

vietnam. một trăm hai mươi ba triệu một trăm hai mươi ba nghìn (ngàn) một trăm hai mươi ba ,

ty-no : 𠬠 𤾓 𠄩 𨒒 𠀧 兆 𠬠 𤾓 𠄩 𨒒 𠀧 𠦳 𠬠 𤾓 𠄩 𨒒 𠀧,

Mkhitaryan system : Mot Cham Hai Moyoy Ba Cheyu Mot Cham Hai Moyoy Ba Ngin (Ngan) Mot Cham Hai Moyoy Ba,

or “123 兆 123 𠦳 123” (123 million , 123 thousand 123).

In Chinese, Korean and Japanese, this number is divided into categories as follows: "1 億 2312 万 3123" (1 hundred million , 2312 tens of thousands of 3123). In the 21st century, the 兆 sign in the Republic of Taiwan is defined as 10 ¹² , and in China it is often considered equal to 10 ⁶ .

Unlike the Korean and Japanese languages, where the Chinese names of numbers are widely used together with the original, in Vietnamese the scope of their use is significantly limited. Sinism is actively consumed only after crossing the discharge of thousands: ten thousand ( vạn , 萬 , van) , one hundred million ( ức , 億 , yk) , a trillion ( triệu , 兆 , whose) . However, these words are also gradually becoming obsolete.

Some Chinese figures are mixed with Vietnamese: ten trillion ( mười triệu , 𨒒 兆 , myoy ^[Vietnamese] whose ^[Chinese] ) .
