Though Gujarati has its own set of numeric signs (placed alongside their Hindu-Arabic [or Indo-Arabic] counterparts in the tables below), they are employed in much the same way as English employs its own; that is to say, they are put together in the same manner in order to express larger numbers. It is quite possible to simply substitute the Gujarati numerals for the Hindu-Arabic ones. Show The Gujarati words for 1–10 are as follows:
The words for eleven through nineteen are completely irregular in Gujarati. Though they do bear some resemblance to their 1–10 counterparts, they must simply be individually memorized:

Language overview
Transliteration of GujaratiThe Gujarati language is written in an alphasyllabary (an abugida) that represents each phoneme by a sign. There are consonants and vowels. The vowels can be noted as diacritics around the previous consonant. Very close to the Devanagari script, the writing system of Sanskrit and Hindi, it can be converted into Latin alphabet (we then say that it is transliterated or romanized). The transliteration system used on this page follows the ISO 15919 standard for Devanagari. Gujarati numeralsThe Gujarati alphasyllabary has a symbol for each digit from zero to nine, each of them having its own name. These are biṁdu (બિંદુ) or miiṁḍuṁ (મીંડું) for the zero symbol (૦), ekḍo (એકડો) for that of one (૧), bagḍo (બગડો) for that of two (૨), tragḍo (ત્રગડો) or tagḍo (તગડો) for that of three (૩), cogḍo (ચોગડો) for that of four (૪), paṁcḍo (પાંચડો) for that of five (૫), chagḍo (છગડો) for that of six (૬), saatḍo (સાતડો) for that of seven (૭), aaṭhḍo (આઠડો) for that of eight (૮) , and navḍo (નવડો) for that of nine (૯). 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Gujarati numbering rulesNow that you’ve had a gist of the most useful numbers, let’s move to the writing rules for the tens, the compound numbers, and why not the hundreds, the thousands and beyond (if possible).
