Javanese numerals (Javanese:ꦮꦶꦭꦁꦔꦤ꧀ꦗꦮ,romanized: Wilangan Jawa;Old Javanese:𑼮𑼶𑼭𑼁,romanized: wilaṁ) are a set ofnumerals traditionally used in theJavanese language, althoughArabic numerals are also used. Javanese numerals follow theHindu–Arabic numeral system commonly used in the rest of the world.

Javanese is rich in numerical expressions. What is written here is the form in standard written Javanese. Spoken Javanese or dialects can take different forms.

The numerals 0–9 have independent and modifier forms. The modifiers are used to form powers of 10 or modify the sum of objects. In some cases, there is more than one word for a numeral reflecting the Javaneseregister system ofngoko (low-register) andkrama (high-register), as well as words from a literary form of Javanese calledkawi and derived fromOld Javanese.

LikeEnglish, Javanese has compound forms for the teens; however, it also has a series of compound 'tweens', 21–29. The teens are based on a rootwĕlas and the tweens onlikur.

Especially for numerals between 30 and 40, there are two formats: proper form and shortened form (wancahan).

When basic numbers are combined with powers of 10, the modifier is applied. The table below uses the modifier of one (sa-) as an example.

There are 3 words that mean "minus half of" some number.Tĕngah means minus half of 1,sasur means minus half of 10, andbĕlah means minus half of 100.

The format iska- + basic numeral + minus half numeral. The basic numeral’s place value is decided by the minus half numeral, so thelima ("five") inkalima tĕngah (4+1⁄2) means five, while thelima inkalima sasur (45) means fifty.

For place values over 100, compounds containing bĕlah are used. Minus half of 1000 isbĕlahiwu. Minus half of 10,000 isbĕlah lĕksa.

Sasur is only used for thirty and above.

Fractions are made up of numerator (modifier form) +pra- + denominator. Below is the example:

There are several forms of numbering that do not follow the pattern above. These special numerals can be combined with the powers of 10.

Old Javanese numerals have two sets of names: native names (fromAustronesian) and loan names (fromSanskrit).

The wordśūnya for zero wascalqued intoArabic asصفرsifr, meaning 'nothing', which became the term "zero" in many European languages viaMedieval Latinzephirum.^[22]
