Numbers
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 0 |
The Javanese numeral system has its own script. In the Javanese Script, only numbers 0–9 are represented.
0 nol 1 siji 2 loro 3 telu 4 papat 5 lima 6 enem 7 pitu 8 wolu 9 sanga
When writing numbers greater than 9, simply combine the above numbers, as one would using the Arabic system. For example, to write 21, simply write the characters loro siji. Similarly, the number 90 would be the characters sanga nol.
Since some of the characters for the numbers are very similar to the characters for syllables, numbers that show up in Javanese texts are indicated by special 'numeral markers' both before and after the number. For example,
text ....... numeral marker telu siji numeral marker .......... text
