Classification and Dialects
Edit
88,93 (Number Language) is a language using numbers 0-100. In colloquial dialects, a negative sign (-) was previously used to indicate negative meaning. This was also a way to show a desire to do something, but an inability to fulfill it. Numbers can conveniently be spoken in any language, and various keyboard symbols are used for additional grammatical meanings.

Grammar Note - Words can basically go in any order, so long as it makes sense.
For example: 1,21 -- I am happy. 21,1 -- I am happy. (literally “happy is to me”)
Adjectives can also be used together to indicate mixed feelings or emotions.
For example: 1,25,26 -- I am both sad and upset (a mixture of the two).
Numbers are indicated by using dots, dashes, and exclamation marks.
One dot equals 1, one plus sign equals five, one dash equals 10, and one exclamation mark equals 1000. These can be multiplied to get any possible number. The multiplication symbol is the hashtag. The equal sign is used to indicate equivalence.
For example: .. # -.. = --.+ (2*12=24) Here’s another one: -... # ! = -...! (13*1000=13,000)
As you may have noticed, spaces are used between numbers and signs to avoid confusion. This is not required in written language, but is standard tradition.
Dashes can also be used before words to indicate a negative meaning. For example: 1,-31 (I’m not coming.) However, this is used primarily in colloquial dialects, and generally not in writing. In the past, this was also a way to show a desire to do something, but an inability to fulfill it. In standard language, dashes are used in between sentences with the function of a period. Dashes are not used, however, with single sentences.
31-40 are basic verbs
31 - to come, go, enter
32 - to leave, depart, exit
33 - to know, understand, comprehend, to be capable of, to be able to
34 - to think, believe, want to believe, want to know
35 - to like, love, adore, admire, desire, attract
36 - to remove, be against, disdain, detract, separate, reduce, hurt, pain, panic, cry, shed
37 - to want, desire, expect, relate to, sympathize
38 - to feel, touch, need, hold, grasp, write
39 - to look at, watch, view, observe, notice, spot, see, read
40 - to look around, search, want to find, be careful, take caution
Fun fact: Odd numbers are generally happy whereas even numbers are generally sad. However, this is not always the case. If you see a number that you don’t like, ignore it.
41-50 are basic objects/nouns
41 - home, house, residence, location, situation, heart, hearth
42 - chair, stool, seat, throne, hill, mountain, protuberance, slope
43 - nature, outdoors, outside, weather, element, ocean
44 - clothes, clothing, attire, dress, style, collection, amount, selection, quantity
45 - tool, utility, resource, device, utensil, pen, pencil, instrument (non musical), store, shop, market, cell phone, television
46 - wood, tree, timber, table, bed, bedrock, foundation, core, strength, power, force, chest, metal

48 - animal, creature, beast, monster, devil, human
49 - ball, rock, circle, spirit, life, earth, ring
50 - book, text, writing, passage, description
To make a verb reflexive, just repeat the pronoun after the verb. Example: 1,35,1,12,1,14,35,2 (I love myself but I don’t love you.)
51-60 involve location, adjectives, and weather
51 - here, close, near, now, today, next to, by
52 - there, away, far, later, tomorrow
53 - short, small, light, thin, arm, hand, foot
54 - long, big, wide, large, fat, heavy, leg, stomach
55 - path, way, road, street, trail, passageway, route, direction, track

59 - grass, ground, floor, land, fertility, meadow, heath, green, spring
60 - blood, color, dye, sweat, tears, bone, killer, red, autumn
As you can see, the only way to distinguish rain from snow is by context.
For example: 8,56,51 (It rains here.) 16,8,58,56 (When it is cold out it snows.)
Question marks signify a question. Therefore if you wanted to ask “What is that?” it would be “8,8?” Too confusing? Go learn Spanish.
61-64 are objects
61 - water, fluid, liquid, juice, drink, beverage, lake, pond, stream, river
62 - bag, case, satchel, purse, container, bottle, cup, glass(drink), absence, bottom, downward, bowl, hole, abyss

67 - fun, funny, amusing, enjoyable, entertaining, awesome, wacky
68 - religious, holy, complicated, fancy, spirited, sacred, ancient
69 - full, complete, finished, done, ready, prepared, valuable, meaningful
70 - empty, hungry, vacant, gone, absent
Grammar Note: There is no past tense. Now you can stop living in the past and start living in the NOW. There is, however, a future tense. To use the future tense, simply place quotation marks around the verb.
For example: 2,”31”,51? (Will you come here?)
Note: For translation purposes, the past tense is indicated by placing an @ symbol after the verb.
As you may have guessed, some verbs such as “to be” and “to have” are implied and thus can indicate the present or the future.
71-80 are verbs
71 - to eat, drink, take in, taste, absorb, bite, swallow
72 - to talk, speak, sing, release, eject, spit, throw up
73 - to start, begin, happen, attempt, try, wear, put on, place, run, race, trot, compete
74 - to stop, slow, fall, trip, drop, depreciate, stutter, falter, decline, lose, fail, die
75 - to wake up, get up, be aroused, rise, focus, pay attention, grow, develop, continue, survive
76 - to act, behave, obey, deliver, gratify, follow, pursue, listen, satisfy, allow, enable
77 - to sleep, rest, relax, calm, nap, dose, lie down, give up, surrender
78 - to hit, punch, attack, wrestle, wrangle, smash, destroy, break, ruin, mess up, punish, banish, force, pressure, cook, roast, bake, fry, kill
79 - to make, do, clean, create, play, inspire, convince, persuade, promote
80 - to ignore, decline, refuse, reverse, backtrack, forget, lose, fall behind, procrastinate
Grammar Note: There is no plural form of words. Everything is neutral.
Tip: try saying the words in another language. This way, if one learns the language, they can still be left out of the conversation.
Names can be spelt out using letters. Example: Jerold,51 (Jerold is here.)
81-100 are nouns
81 - game, sport, effort, attempt, journey, voyage, trip, tennis, baseball, soccer, football, basketball...
82 - toilet, bathroom, trash, privacy, danger, radiation, off-limit area, camping
83 - fruit, vegetable, nut, insect, brain, child

98 - punk, traitor, failure, disservice
99 - determination, conviction, free will, perseverance, belief, progression, change, motivation, solidarity
100 - knot, wrist, sword, boundary, fence, wall, end, death, nightmare, plague, disease, illness, injury
Grammar practice: 1,38,65,66,87 (I’m holding sweet, hard candy.)
Another example: 1,“39”,2,1,12,58,58,100 (I will see you in my coldest, darkest nightmares.)
Words are frequently used in combination with other words to create new meaning. For example: 8,95,94! (What a blessing from the universe!)
Another one: 17,14,73,79,1,71,58,58,85,86 (Please don’t try to convince me to eat the cold, damp, cardboard-like meat.)
Square roots can be used to show that something is a possibility, but is not certain. For example: √1,27 (I might be happy.) Alternatively, a V may be used in lieu of the square root symbol.
Squared signs show that something is definite, and not uncertain. For example: 2,99^ (You have determination.) Because the verb “have” is implied here, the sign comes after the noun, and not the subject. Generally the sign is placed at the end of a sentence or after an adjective for reinforcement, though there is no real limitation to its placement. Occasionally you will see something like: 1,35,8^,60 (I like that color.) In this case, the sign reinforces that you like a specific color.
The * sign means that something is not going to happen, or is impossible. For example: I,38,50* (It’s not possible for me to write a book.) Just as with the squared sign, this is usually placed at the end of a sentence, but has no official limitations.
Don't worry, once you're fluent this will all make sense. :)
Now do more practice: . $,79, ......., 89, 76,28^,28^,26^ (One dollar convinces seven people to act lousy, unintelligent, and disturbed.)
2,14,37,78,6,26^,66^,89,52?! (Don’t you want to punch those crazed, awful people over there?!)
1,”31”,41,19,62,60,87,11,44,21^,63,13,1,90 (I will enter the home with a bag of red candy and a beautiful selection of flowers for my wife.)
It's all about context -- the last thing we'd want in the last example is for you to be entering the home with “blood candy” or “blood medicine”
More words are being added every day...So I wish you good luck in your endeavors and I say to you “Auf Wiedersehen”. Thank you.
Example textEdit
1,35,1,12,1,14,35,2 (I love myself but I don’t love you.)
