Sundanese numerals


Sundanese numerals is a number system used by Sundanese people and contains a sequence of 10 digits in Sundanese script. The Wilangan writing system is the same as in Arabic numerals, i.e. the writing is directed to the right, only there is a difference in terms of marking, namely that the writing of numbers in Sundanese script must use a pipe sign, because some forms of Sundanese numerals are similar to consonant letters, it is feared that ambiguity will occur.
Example: || = 2020
However, because the writing system that is more often used in Sundanese is the Latin alphabet, it is more common to write numbers in Sundanese using Arabic numerals and the use of numbers in Sundanese script is optional.
