Bengali numerals

Bengali-Assamese numerals (Template:Lang-bn Template:Lang-as), are a 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 the Bengali and Assamese languages share the same written script (with the exception of three alphabetical characters), both languages also share the same numeral system.

Zero (শূন্য)

The start and invention of "0" / ‘zero’ is credited to Aryabhatta around 500 A.D. Ashok Sharma, who is an Assamese writer and filmmaker has challenged this theory, claiming that zero was actually invented in Assam.
