A system and method for storing and retrieving the written or spoken equivalents for numbers. In order to handle different representation of numbers, including spoken or written representations, the recurring patterns are expressed based on the radix of the system using sub-patterns. The patterns may be indexed to a vocabulary of text strings, then used to generate the text equivalent of any number within the range of the pattern. A database may store the patterns and vocabularies for one or many different languages. Such a system captures the complexities and exceptions in the spoken tongue while keeping the size of the database, even for large numbers of languages, in a very compact size.
