The Brahmi numerals are an indigenous Indian numeral system attested from the 3rd century BCE (somewhat later in the case of most of the tens). They are the direct graphic ancestors of the modern Indic and Hindu-Arabic numerals. However, they were conceptually distinct from these later systems, as they were not used as a positional system with a zero. Rather, there were separate numerals for each ...

In Sanskrit literature number words for 1-9, 10, 100 and further powers of 10 - up to 10 - were used (similar to decimal system). [2]. The most widely used place value symbols belong to the Nagari script numerals, very similar to the Brahmi numerals, which form the basis of the modern Hindu-Arabic numerals. [3]
Historians trace many modern numerals to the Brahmi numerals, which were in use around the middle of the third century BC.[4] The place value system, however, evolved later. The Brahmi numerals have been found in inscriptions i ...

| | |  Brahmi numerals: Persian Heritage In Hindu TraditionsPersian Heritage In Hindu Traditions Many would be surprised to learn that no ancient Hindu temple was dedicated to Rama - neither in Ayodhya nor anywhere else. There had been many old temples and shrines devoted to Vishnu and Shiva and a few to Brahma, Ganesh, Kartikeya, Hanuman, Kubera, Nagas, Kali and Durga as well as a huge number honouring numerous local tribal deities. Only 180 years ago Raja Ram Mohan Roy coined the word 'Hindu' to describe the huge variety of faiths and sects with similar but not identical philosophies, myths and rituals. Read more here: » Islam

The Hindu-Arabic numeral system (also called Algorism) is a positional decimal numeral system documented from the 9th century. An important characteristic of the system is the use of a numeral digit zero. Further enhancements of the system include use of a decimal marker and a symbol for "these digits recur ad infinitum".
The symbols (glyphs) used to represent the system are in p ...

| | | | Brahmi numerals: Encyclopedia II - Arabic numerals - Description The numeral system employed, known as Algorism, is positional decimal notation.
Various symbol sets are used to represent numbers in the Hindu-Arabic numeral system, all of which evolved from the Brahmi numerals. The symbols used to represent the system have split into various typographical variants since the Middle Ages:
the widespread Western "Arabic numerals" used with the Latin alphabet, in the table below labelled "European", descended from the "West Arabic numerals" which were developed in al-Andalus and the Maghreb ...

Hindu-Arabic numerals system - Origins.
Buddhist inscriptions from around 300 B.C. use the symbols which became 1, 4 and 6. One century later, their use of the symbols which became 2, 4, 6, 7 and 9 was recorded. These Brahmi numerals are the ancestors of the Hindu-Arabic glyphs 1 to 9, but they were not used as a positional system with a zero, and there were rather separate numerals for each of the tens (10, 20, 30, etc.).

| | | | Brahmi numerals: Encyclopedia II - Gurmukhī script - Vowels Gurmukhi follows similar concepts to other Brahmi scripts and as such, all consonants are followed by an inherent‘a’sound (unless at the end of a word when the ‘a’ is usually dropped). This inherent vowel sound can be changed by using dependent vowel signs which attach to a bearing consonant. In some cases, dependent vowel signs cannot be used – at the beginning of a word or syllable for instance – and so an independent vowel character is used instead.
Independent vowels are constructed using three bearer characters: Ura (ੳ), Aira (ਅ) and Iri (ੲ). With the exception of Aira (which represents the vowel 'a') they are ...

| | | | Brahmi numerals: Encyclopedia II - Gurmukhī script - Origins Like most of the North Indian writing systems, the Gurmukhi script is a descendant of the Brahmi script. The Proto-Gurmukhi letters evolved through the Gupta script, from 4th to 8th century, followed by the Sharada script, from 8th century onwards, and finally adapted their archaic form in the Devasesha stage of the Later Sharada script, dated between the 10th and 14th centuries.
The traditional accounts, such as the references found in the Janamsakhi literature, say that the Gurmukhi script was invented by the se ...

| | | | Brahmi numerals: Encyclopedia II - History of the Arabic alphabet - Reorganization of the alphabet Less than a century later, Arab grammarians reorganized the alphabet, for reasons of teaching, putting letters next to other letters which were nearly the same shape. This produced a new order which was not the same as the numeric order, which became less important because it was being competed with by the Indian numerals and sometimes by the Greek numerals.
The Arabic grammarians of North Africa changed the new letters, ...
