Focusing on 5 types of reading types of numbers 1 to 10 corresponding to 258 classifiers found in “NHK Japanese Pronunciation Accent New Dictionary”(published in 2016) and 1,6,8,10 for sokuon form reading. The observation results are summarized as follows. 1) Perfect matching between classifier vocabularies and their corresponding numeral readings was extremely limited. In most cases, mixed reading was performed using Chinese numerals and Japanese numerals regardless of the classifier (246 words, 95.3%). The reason is that the reading of Japanese numerals 4 and 7 is generalized. 2) In most cases, mixed readings are mainly Chinese numerals, but specific numbers ─ 4 (ヨ / ヨン), 7 (ナナ) ─ are Japanese numerals, but the aspect of additional intervention of Japanese numerals by word type classifiers, is showing a slight difference. 3) In the case of 4, since the pronunciation of the Chinese numeral reading シ (四) is the same as that of シ (死), which means death, They disliked this and used the Japanese numeral ヨ. Since then, it is confirmed that ヨン was used with classifiers around 1920. And in the case of 7, there is a risk that the Chinese numeral reading シチ will be confused with 1 (イチ) in pronunciation, so it was converted to Japanese numeral reading ナナ. 4) In each note, the Japanese and Chinese numerals such as ヨン, ナナ, and キュー for 4, 7, and 9 in the 4合 (条), 7条 (寸), and 9条 (尺 / 重) of the new dictionary are written in each note. It should be noted that it is traditionally explained that it is also referred to as シ, シチ, or ク. 5) The classifiers 1, 6, 8 and 10 that start with the beginning non-sound (カ行, サ行, タ行, ハ行) correspond to the sokuon form, but it is noteworthy that the classifiers of サ行 and タ 行 and the correspondence of 6 appear as non-sokuon forms.
