Rules for slang of Japanese numbers


I often hear Japanese using a different method for saying a number like "248" as によんぱ — especially for highways and license plates.


While this one is easy to understand, there are others that I don't quite understand. Could someone provide a list of the different pronunciations of each number?


"2525" being ニコニコ is probably a good example of what I'm talking about.



1:い
2:に

3:
4:よん
5:こ
6:
7:
8:は、ぱ
9:




Answer



That's called 語呂合わせ and you could find full article at Wikipedia.



Quoted from Wikepedia



1 : いち、い、ひとつ、ひと


2 : に、ふたつ、ふた、ふ、つ(英語から)、じ


3 : さん、さ、みっつ、みつ、み


4 : よん、よ、よっつ、し、ふぉ(英語から)、ほ


5 : ご、こ、い、いつつ、いつ


6 : ろく、ろ、むっつ、むつ、む


7 : しち、ななつ、なな、な


8 : はち、は、ぱあ、やっつ、やつ、や、やあ



9 : きゅう、きゅ、く、ここのつ、ここの、こ


0 : れい、れ、ぜろ、ない、わ(字形から)、まる(字形から)、おー(アルファベットのOから。)
