I think he wants to know what the number names are in the Saiyan language... which doesn't exist, or is even referenced to.

The most we have to go on is displays on scouters, which aren't necessarily in saiyan... and I'm not sure how many we actually see that we could venture a guess as to the meaning of. Though there is a board concerning the language.

They're most likely not, since those scouters were used by all of Freeza's army, and I can't see him caring enough to issue special versions of these featuring text in a language only used by three of his soldiers.

I'm feeling even more ignorant by not knowing what any of this means.

Oh there will be.. :D

Anyways, i believe those numbers are of some language used in Freeza's empire,, as they appeared later on in the scouters of the Ginyu Force, Freeza, etc.

But that's just it: you're not Toriyama nor are you writing filler for the anime. Therefore it's bull. :P

But... it's not canon, at all. You created a new language and called it Saiyan. A friend of mine also created a language for a character from his comics... Why are you trying to convince us?

To show you that's (s)he's creative? (S)He's making up and organizing something new that's based upon the object of his/her fandom. To be witty, (s)he quoted a part of it in response to a question that didn't have a concrete, established answer to begin with. Yeah, it's not going to magically make itself part of the original, almighty "canon" material, but when did (s)he say it was supposed to be?

I'm writing a fanfiction; how's that any fundamentally different? Heck, mine doesn't even merely expand upon or use canon material as a base; it flies directly in the face of it, since it's a rewrite.

First... I think Sayamel is a female.. :X
Second, I just don't like any kind of fanfiction ^^

Anything else directed to me based on this topic, should be made by PM, because I don't want to litter this topic with more spam.

Listen, as i've said it's NOT canonical (though i guess i shouldn't have made my initial responses come off as though it is..but that wasn't my intention) - there's no arguing that. it's fanfiction. and i'm not trying to convince anyone of anything..

SaiyaMel, you don't need to feel offended; and don't worry, we all have our mix ups.

Just wondering, but perhaps by "numbers", the initiator of the topic could have been refering to the numbers on a scouter? At least that's what I thought when I first read it. (Though I don't think there's a real answer to that, as they seem to be jabber-jabber.)

(Shrugs) I don't think it's any worse than Star Trek fans creating a language for their show.
