It doesn't matter what language you speak, we all use the same numbers (If this is not the case, please illuminate me). At what point in history did the world decide on the numbers (1234567890) and why didn't we do the same thing with languages? Where there competitors to the Aramaic numbers other than Roman Numerals? Thanks so much for answering!
If you're referring to the ways we write the numbers down, there's a multitude of them. For example, the Hindo-Arabic numerals look like this:
| 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ٠ | ١ | ٢ | ٣ | ٤ | ٥ | ٦ | ٧ | ٨ | ٩ |
There's a multitude of different numeral systems.
