The way the Chaldean system works is to only use english. All other languauges can be converted to English via phonetics or other translation, and then interpreted. I'm not sure of the "official" way of interpreting languages, but it seems designed for English as it is the "Universal" language (other than maths).Dean. ------------------

there is nothing but mystery in the world,
how it hides behind the fabric of our poor,
browbeat days, shining brightly, and we don't even know it. Sue Monk Kidd, "The Secret Life of Bees", p79 My numerology program based on "Star Signs" by Linda Goodman

Greetings...Well.. from my studies, the Chaldean system stems from the use of the Chaldean/Hebraic alphabet. In that Language the letters and numbers were represented by the same symbol. So a word could be a word or a number, and a number could also be read as a word. The Chaldean system translates to English through the similarities of the sounds of the letters when transliterated. For example the Hebrew Yod is the number 10. The closest eqivalents to Yod in English are I, J, Y , thus those letters get the number 1 in the Chaldean system. I think it would depend upon the individual Languages, and whether or not their alphabet symbols were also number symbols. As in Greek, I believe where the letters are also numbers. And if I am not mistaken, Latin letters were also symbols for numbers. In that event, the numerology would come from the NUMBER values of the letters employed in spelling a word. Make any sense? Hope that helps a bit... In the Light... A  ------------------
