Numeral systems in Asia and Africa: A geolinguistic approach to linguistic patterns

This article presents new maps of the numeral systems in Asia and Africa and provides interpretations, based on articles in the numeral systems of individual language groups/areas and Fukazawa’s (2023a) overview in Chapter XVI of Linguistic atlas of Asia and Africa III. These new maps offer new interpretations and possibilities regarding the historical changes between quinary, decimal, vigesimal and other systems.

Abstract

This article presents new maps of the numeral systems in Asia and Africa and provides interpretations, based on articles in the numeral systems of individual language groups/areas and Fukazawa’s (2023a) overview in Chapter XVI of Linguistic atlas of Asia and Africa III. These new maps offer new interpretations and possibilities regarding the historical changes between quinary, decimal, vigesimal and other systems.
