Basic numerals

The numerals 0–9 have independent and modifier forms. The modifiers are used to form powers of 10 or modify the sum of object. In some cases, there is more than one word for a numeral reflecting the Javanese register system: ngoko (low-register) and krama (high-register).

Teen, tween, and thirty numerals

Like English, Javanese has compound forms for the teens; however, it also has a series of compound 'tweens', 21–29. The teens are based on a root wĕlas and the tweens on likur.

Especially for numerals between 30 and 40, there are two formats: proper form and shortened form (wancahan).

Powers of 10

When basic numbers are combined with powers of 10, the modifier is applied. The table below uses the modifier of one (sa-) as an example.

"Minus half" numerals

There are 3 words that mean "minus half of". The format is ka- + basic numerals + minus half numerals.

Specifically for the word bĕlah, it can be used for hundreds and above. Sasur only used for thirty and above.

Fractions

Fractions are made up of numerator (modifier form) + pra + denominator. Below is the example:

Special numerals

There are several forms of numbering that do not follow the pattern above. These special numerals can be combined with the powers of 10.
