¹The forms between brackets are transcriptions different from the Hindi. ²Although English names its numerals Arabic numerals, they came to Europe through India, originally from the Islamic civilization. Arab countries use other symbols for numerals, although with the same decimal structure. In the table, these figures appear in the top row of the text. For numbers with several digits, one writes in increasing powers of ten (units first, then tens, and so on). As in the west, the units are on the right and the greater powers of ten are on the left, as shown for the Arabic ten in the table. In the transliteration, th must be read about like English th, although closer to the S than Z or V . kh is a guttural R, as in Khaled, similar to the German CH of Bach (IPA χ, ). ³There are two different characters which mean "2"

• èr (二) is used for numbers ("the year 2000")
• liăng (两) is used to describe ("I have two fruits")

⁴ the Japanese usually use the Arabic numerals, but still use Chinese characters (kanji) in calligraphy or when written in columns. The word shi (死) means "death", in some cases yon replaces shi (4) and nana replaces shichi (7).
