#NdebeScript To the world.

@shumi_4 There is a whole community of #Igbo learners on @sexyigbo
Igbo is one of the most widely spoken languages in Nigeria with 30 million speakers.
When written, itโs written with #NdebeScript and also Latin script, which is used for many languages.
You can now type Igbo in Ndebe Script. #NdebeScript

It's taken a long time and lots of really hard work to get here, but typing Igbo in Ndebe Script is here!

Now for a bigger number. #NdebeScript
How do you write 114,123 in Igbo using Ndebe Script?
For the last three numbers, we have been dealing with the place values 400, 20, and Units (0-19)
Now, as the number is greater than 8000, we have to involve the place value 8000.

As an example, here is how to write the following random numbers in Igbo Base-20 using Ndebe Script. #NdebeScript
1297.
185.
51.

This explains how to write numbers 0 to 19 in Igbo in Ndebe Script using the new #NdebeScript numerals, but how does one write larger numbers like 20 and above?
First, since Ndebe caters to Igbo's original Base 20 number system, the Base 20 place values will be used in Ndebe

Again for 15 in the new #NdebeScript numbers
16 is a visual combination of 15 and 1
17 is a visual combination of 15 and 2
18 is a visual combination of 15 and 3
19 is a visual combination of 15 and 4
So it's easy to remember:
15 + 1 = 16
15 + 2 = 17
15 + 3 = 18
15 + 4 = 19

Here is the full progression for the 5 numeral base marker in Ndebe Script's number system.
5 + 1 = 6
5 + 2 = 7
5 + 3 = 8
5 + 4 = 9
#NdebeScript

Next, the #NdebeScript Sub-Base Markers: 5, 10, 15
These are also unique.
5 is a progression from 0, while 10 and 15 have the same body stem as 5 to show that they are all base markers, but different heads to differentiate themselves.
So what is the point of all this?

The design of the #NdebeScript number system is important because each number gives visual clues about the other numbers it is related to.
First the unique Sub-Base units: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4
2 is a progression from 1
3 is a progression from 2
4 is a progression from 3

The original Igbo number system was a Base 20 number system.
This means Igbos originally counted in groups and factors of 20.
The Igbo number system also had a sub base of 5, meaning where needed, groups of 20 could be divided by 5.
Hence #NdebeScript is Base 20, sub-base 5
Iโm in love with the new #NdebeScript numbers.
1. They make logical sense, and are thus easy to remember
2. You can write them RAPIDLY.
3. The design involves very few pen lifts and produces less hand fatigue when writing.

The original numerals for #NdebeScript didnโt perform as effortlessly as the rest of the script.
This is really important because numbers have to be lightning fast to write for use in maths
So I scrapped all the numbers entirely and started over from scratch to meet those goals
Let's talk about the complete overhaul of the Ndebe Script number system. #NdebeScript
First of all thank you to @eldivine for his immediate commentary that the number system needed work.
I realised the numbers didnโt really match the goals of the rest of the script.

Ndebe typing test.
What do you think of the way Ndebe Script looks typed?
Do you think it has a good shape flow, and is easy to read?
