It's misleading to include the "Modern Greek" (A', B', etc.) and Hebrew symbols, and possibly the Chinese, for two reasons. As the article says, "The glyphs in actual use are descended from Brahmi numerals and have split into various typographical variants since the Middle Ages", but this is not true of the Greek and Hebrew symbols, nor of the Chinese. The Greek and Hebrew are also not part of the system described in the article, with positional notation values (and I don't know whather the Chinese does or doesn't).--[[User:Linguistatlunch|Linguistatlunch]] ([[User talk:Linguistatlunch|talk]]) 16:58, 13 November 2020 (UTC) |
