Numbasland History

Part I: Origin

Numbasland was created on April 15th, 2022, at the same time Sunny attempted to enter Cumuland. Numbasland was named similarly: using the suffix "-land". Numbas is a portmanteau for "Number" and "Basher", which has a long story documented in APPENDIX A. Numbasland was transformed into a Greek City-State on May 5th, Thursday, 20 days after it has been created. Numbasland had no customs then. Years in Numbasland were counted by the minutes, that is, one minute on Earth is one year in Numbasland. 0 NBY (for Numbasyears) was April 15th, 00:00 on Earth. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Thus, one day on Earth is 24X60=1440 NBY. Currently, it is 30000 NBY at the time of writing.

PART II: Spoken Language

As for all countries (or Greek City-States) created by Sunny, swearing is allowed. So you may swear. Note that this by no means encourage you to swear in school. Numbasland's official language is Sdrawkcab, although one may speak in programming languages (see below). Sdrawkcab is a language designed by Human Being Andrew David Wood (or, one may as well as say, Namuh Gnieb Werdna Divad Doow) [Note that this is pronounced Nama Nibe Werna Divad Doo] Sdrawkcab is derived from English. "Sdrawkcab" is Sdrawkcab for "Backwards", which explains how it works (yllufepoh) When you translate a phrase from Sdrawkcab to English, simply translate it from English to Sdrawkcab. Note that this does not work with pronounced Sdrawkcab. HOW TO PRONOUNCE "SDRAWKCAB": [straw-cab]

This phrase might be helpful if you want to travel to Numbasland: I od ton wonk Backwards. [I odd ton wonk backwards] I ylno wonk siht ecnetnes ni Backwards. [I ill-no wonk sit ek-net-ness ni backwards] (eseht) (e-set) Or, check your Sdrawkcab skills with this: Llew enod! Uoy did ti! Uoy dekcarc eht edoc! [Lew e-nod! Oi did tea! Oi de-kark et e-doc!]

Unlike the original conventions, BRB stays BRB instead of becoming ETK for Eb Tghir Kcab. [Eb Tir Cab] Also, ci is pronounced "si" instead of "ki"

Part III: Indicating Sound

As we have seen in Part II, we can indicate sound by using [square brackets]. We put in there words. There is another way in which we map the characters:

a => a b => b

Most of them stays the same, except for:

c => k (or rarely s) x => ks ¯¯ We symbolize letters to be joined together by underlining them. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ A special character is used, "¯", accessible on Mac computers by OPT + SHI + , (⌥⇧,)

For instance, annotations is represented by [anota-shens] ¯¯ Long a, as you have seen, is represented by "a-". Another way to represent sh is s~h. ¯¯

PART IV: Programming

Programming in Numbasland is done using the esolang EmojiLang or esolang BF++. Support for NumLang mighted be added later. For CodeGolfing purposes, Python may be used.

PART V: Computers

All Numbasland citizens uses Mac computers with a Beconterfig keyboard. The Beconterfig keyboard is still being developed by Sunny. It makes access to Cumuland-Reserved phrases like "Cumer", Mac-Reserved symbols like "⌥", Math-Related symbols like "∠", Swearing words (which I will not give any examples of) easier. ___ ___ config Beconterfig is a portmanteau for and . ¯¯ ¯¯¯ bet(t)er
