D'ni language

A language and numerical system was developed for the D'ni culture by Richard Watson.

Sample text (by Jeff Klinger):

Transliteration:
.lenah biv kenen tenesh erthbantee meh keelentee roob rekeelen fahets kenen ten ril-tsan

Translation:
Every journey is simply a series of steps but the first step is not always simple.

The D'ni number system is base twenty-five. The chart below shows the numbers from zero to 24, which is normally all the numbers you'd have in a base 25 system, but there is a special character which denotes the number 25 in certain circumstances.
