Hylian is a constructed language that appears in the Nintendo video game The legend of Zelda. Like Japanese, it uses a syllabic system. Three different writing systems have been created: the Old Hylian Syllabary used in Ocarina of Time (1998), the Modern Hylian Syllabary used in The Wind Waker (2002) — both of them used to transcribe Japanese —, and the Hylian Alphabet used in Twilight Princess (2006), to transcribe English. We use here the Modern Hylian language developed by Katsuto.Due to lack of data, we can only count accurately up to 999,999 in Hylian.

Digits from zero to nine are specific words: sore (sore) [0], hire (hire) [1], dise (dise) [2], troe (troe) [3], kose (kose) [4], pante (pante) [5], hënte (hEnte) [6], site (site) [7], onte (onte) [8], and nive (nive) [9].

Compound numbers are formed by saying the ten, then the digit separated with a space (e.g.: dëme hire (dEme hire) [11], sidëme hënte (sidEme hEnte) [76]).
