Abstract

The current article is dedicated to the names of numbers (from 1 to 10) in the Old Bulgarian Language, referencing other Indo-European languages like Latin and Ancient Greek. The research is interdisciplinary as it attempts to reveal algebraic dependencies in semantics, etymology, and word formation in the names of the numbers from 1 to 10. The article is completely different from the traditional research on mathematical linguistics. Their main purpose is the use of mathematical models in the description of natural languages. Our purpose is opposite of theirs - we discover mathematical regularities in the primitive consciousness and primitive language of our ancestors.
