Arabic numerals
What is commonly known as “Arabic numerals”, and more rarely Hindu–Arabic numerals, is the set of characters or graphemes which represent the digits 0 to 9, as well as the positional decimal system attached to it. Those digits, invented in India around the IIIrd century BC, have transited within the Arab civilization from the IXth century before arriving in Europe in the Xth century. In the Mashreq countries, that is to say mainly Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Palestine, the Hindu numerals are used in conjunction with Western numerals.

Arabic numbering rules
Now that you’ve had a gist of the most useful numbers, let’s move to the writing rules for the tens, the compound numbers, and why not the hundreds, the thousands and beyond (if possible).
- Digits from zero to nine are specific words, namely sifr (صِفْرٌ) [0], wahid (وَاحِدٌ) [1], ithnan (اِثْنَانِ) [2], thalatha (ثَلَاثَةٌ) [3], arba’a (أَرْبَعٌ) [4], khamsa (خَمْسَةٌ) [5], sitta (سِتَّةٌ) [6], sab’a (سَبْعَةٌ) [7], thamaniya (ثَمَانِيَةٌ) [8], and tis’a (تِسْعَةٌ) [9].
- The tens are based on the root of the digit names, suffixed by un (ون), except for ten: ‘ashra (عَشَرَةٌ) [10], ‘ishrun (عِشْرُونَ) [20], thalathun (ثَلَاثُونَ) [30], arba’un (أَرْبَعُونَ) [40], khamsun (خَمْسُونَ) [50], sittun (سِتُّونَ) [60], sab’un (سَبْعُونَ) [70], thamanun (ثَمَانُونَ) [80], and tis’un (تَسْعَوْنَ) [90].
- From eleven to nineteen, compound numbers are formed by stating the unit, then a form of the word for ten: ahada ‘ashar (إِحْدَى عَشَرٍ) [11], ithna ‘ashar (اِثْنَا عَشَرٌ) [12], thalatha ‘ashar (ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ) [13], arba’a ‘ashar (أَرْبَعَةَ عَشَرَ) [14], khamsa ‘ashar (خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ) [15], sitta ‘ashar (سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ) [16], sab’a ‘ashar (سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ) [17], thamaniya ‘ashar (ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ) [18], and tis’a ‘ashar (تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ) [19].
- Above twenty-one, compound numbers are formed by stating the unit then the ten, linked with the and word connector (wa-, وَ). Hence we get: thalatha wa-khamsun (ثَلَاثَةُ وَ خَمْسُونَ) [53], sab’a wa-tis’un (سَبْعَةُ وَ تَسْعَوْنَ) [97].
- Hundreds are formed by stating the multiplier digit before the word for hundred, except for one hundred itself: mi’a (مِئَةٌ) [100], ithnan mi’a (مِائَتَانِ) [200], thalatha mi’a (ثَلَاثَةَ مِئَةَ) [300], arba’a mi’a (أَرْبَعَةَ مِئَةَ) [400], khamsa mi’a (خَمْسَةَ مِئَةَ) [500], sitta mi’a (سِتَّةَ مِئَةَ) [600], sab’a mi’a (سَبْعَةَ مِئَةَ) [700], thamaniya mi’a (ثَمَانِيَةَ مِئَةَ) [800], and tis’a mi’a (تِسْعَةَ مِئَةَ) [900].
- The word for thousand is alf (أَلْفٌ). Two thousand is using the dual form of thousand: alfain (أَلْفَيْنِ) [2,000]. Above two thousand, the plural form of thousand is used: thalatha alaaf (ثَلَاثَةُ آلَافٍ) [3,000], arba’a alaaf (أربَعة آلَافٍ) [4,000], khamsa alaaf (خَمْسَةُ أَﻟﺎف) [5,000], sitta alaaf (سِتَّةُ أَﻟﺎف) [6,000], sab’a alaaf (سَبْعَةُ أَﻟﺎف) [7,000], thamaniya alaaf (ثَمَانِيَةُ أَﻟﺎف) [8,000], and tis’a alaaf (ﺗﺴِﻌﺔ أَﻟﺎف ) [9,000].
- The word for million is malioun (مَلِيُوْن) [1 million, 106], and the word for billion is maliâr (مَلِيَار) [1 billion, 109].
