Which language use names instead of numbers ?
Answers
No,numbers don't look the same in every language.
Answer:
They all come from Proto-Indo-European roots, slight edit, except zero
Explanation:
We use Arabic numbers, of course, which all have names as well. In Swahili, the numbers one through five are of Bantu origin while six through ten are pure Arabic. But this is a complication not an answer. The many languages that use Arabic orthography to name the symbols of their numeration in their languages have obvious etymologies that often lead to Arabic tri-radical roots.
Perhaps it would make more sense for you to start with the origins of language. How man began to develop figurative language could be a good starting point. Children learn numbers, for example, before they can associate anything with them. It is only later that they learn their meanings.
