Counting in Gunganese

Language overview

Gunganese, also known as Gungan Basic, is a fictional language that belongs to the Star Wars universe. It is spoken by the Gungans of the planet Naboo, and is derived from Standard Basic, the Naboo settlers’ language, spoken with cultural speech alterations. This is thus a contact language, or a pidgin.

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

Gunganese 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).

• Digits from one to nine are specific words, mostly derived from the Standard Basic digits pronunciation: una [1], duey [2], dee [3], foosa [4], fife [5], seeks [6], sevin [7], ate-a [8], and ninee [9].
• The only documented ten is tenska [10].
