The numbers we call Arabic numerals were invented in India #shorts

Can you count to ten in Arabic?

The Hindu-Arabic numeral system was invented between the 1st and 4th centuries by Indian mathematicians, and its glyphs are descended from Brahmi numerals. By the 9th century the system was adopted by Arabic mathematicians, who extended it to include fractions and called it al-hisab al-hindi ('Indian arithmetic'). It became more widely known through the Persian mathematician Al-Khwarizmi's On the Calculation with Hindu Numerals (c. 825) and Al-Kindi's On the Use of the Hindu Numerals (c. 830). The numerals were gradually adopted in Europe from around the 10th century, probably transmitted by Arab traders, and spread notably after Fibonacci's 13th-century Liber Abaci; they came to be generally known as 'Arabic numerals' in Europe. The Eastern Arabic numerals used with Arabic script in the Middle East are a different family of glyphs.
