Counting in Afata

Language overview

The Afata language, derived from the Veda, is spoken in the world of Athanor, from the video game Arena of Valor, a multiplayer online battle arena published by Tencent Games. This is an abugida that uses the vine script, or Thala script, to be written. It is part of the four constructed languages developped by David J. Peterson for this game, the others being G’Vunna, Gandal and Veda.

Due to lack of data, we can only count accurately up to 10 in Afata. Please contact me if you can help me counting up from that limit.

Afata numbering rules

Now that you’ve had a gist of the most useful numbers, let’s move to the writing rules for the tens, the compound numbers, and why not the hundreds, the thousands and beyond (if possible).

  • The Afata digits from one to nine are: ing [1], kan [2], zu [3], fin [4], iide [5], ping [6], zünen [7] (ten minus three), kanünen [8] (ten minus two), and inünen [9] (ten minus one).
  • The word for ten is nen [10].
