Hey folks,

Shiju has published an interesting post on numerals in an Indic context. It's a really fascinating overview - including how numerals are depicted across Indic languages, their use across languages, the policies adopted by the various Indic communities, the need for some community decisions to take things forward, a bit of Shiju's personal grumble on the fact that Hindi film posters are no longer in Hindi :-) and a picture of a Northern Railways bed sheet!

Intrigued? Read more on either on metahttp://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/India_Program/Indic_Languages/Numerals_in_Indic_Languages_&_Indic_language_Wikipedias and or the Chapter bloghttp://blog.wikimedia.in/2012/06/01/numerals-in-indic-languages-indic-wikipedias-2/ .
