Bengali-Assamese numerals (Template:Lang-bn Template:Lang-as), refers to the numeral system of the Bengali language and Assamese language used officially in Bangladesh, West Bengal, Tripura and Assam, as well as by the other Bengali and Assamese speaking populations around the world. As Bengali language and Assamese language shares the same writing script (with exception of three alphabets in difference), both language also shares the same numeral system.
Zero (শূন্য)
The start and invention of "0" / ‘zero’ is credited to Aryabhatta around 500 A.D, who was an Assamese writer and filmmaker has challenged the theory, claiming that zero was actually invented in Assam. [1]
