(I will use the term numerals to identify the numbers 0-9.)

I have written before on how to increase the quantity of numerals in a series that could be remembered by making the pronunciation of each of those numerals briefer. The basic idea is, the shorter and easier to pronounce a large multi-digit number is, the easier it is to remember. The less brain space and less time to speak a number the better. My previous system only included the numbers 0 through 9 and then pronounced the larger numbers 10 through 99 as a simple linking of the basic numerals. That works okay, but it lacks the redundancy and uniqueness which helps us remember larger numbers. For example, the number 1957 could be pronounced in that new way as one nie fie sev rather than one nine five seven. The new way is three syllables shorter and therefore the brain would have space for another digit or two. The numerals 5, 7 and 9 are needlessly long to pronounce and any pair of them will take twice as long to say as is necessary to convey the information with the briefer pronunciation.

There is an additional problem with longer lists of numerals because it becomes easy to scramble their sequential order. That is not likely with only four numerals, but with a number a dozen or more numerals long it is a problem. An improvement can be had by clumping the numerals into pairs. Thus the usual pronunciation of one nine two seven becomes nineteen twenty-seven which is less likely to be corrupted by scrambling or inserting an inappropriate numeral. Years are usually pronounced that way but telephone numbers are not and it makes those numbers more difficult to remember.

My old method for contracting pronounced base numerals into unique sounding words:
Hoe, One, Too, Tre, Por, Fie, Sik, Sev, Ate, Nie

But the problem with that pronunciation was that for longer strings of numerals it required inserting the sound for ten into the numbers from 11 to 99, if they were to be stated as pairs and not as single numerals. That requires adding what functions as two sounds where a single sound would serve. That can be resolved but it requires changing the pronunciation of the base numeral word such that an e sound can be added without confusion. The e stands for ten as is usually pronounced in English as tēēn (13 -19) or tē (20 – 99). The problem can be fixed by changing the pronunciation and ideally the spelling too so that the e can be affixed to create the ē sound for numbers 10 – 99, while adding only a single sound. The improved pronunciation of the base numerals:

Hoo, Won, Tuu, Thro, Por, Foo, Sik, Sev, Aat, Noo,

0,  1,  2,  3,  4,  5,  6,  7,  8,  9

Thus with their tens added they become pronounced:

Hooē, Wonē, Tuuē, Throē, Porē, Fooē, Sikē, Sevē, Aatē, Nooē,

00,  10,  20,  30,  40,  50,  60,  70,  80,  90

The pronunciation of seventy-seven would be sevēsev.

After learning the counting system as one’s automatic pronunciation of the numbers there might be a twenty percent increase in ability to remember long numbers and when clumping a similar reduction in errors in remembering those long numbers.

The easier a thing is to use the more useful it is.
