Mongolian Numeral System The Numeral System Was Developed From Tibetan Numerals and Used in Conjunction With The Mongolian and Clear Script

The Mongolian numeral system was developed from Tibetan numerals and uses the Mongolian and Clear scripts. Numbers from 0 to 9 are referred to as "Dan". Cardinal numerals are formed by adding the number symbol to the word for the place value. For example, 33 is written as "guchin gurrav" by adding the numeral for 3 ("gurrav") after the word for 30 ("guch"). Larger numbers follow a similar pattern, such as 1001 being written as "myanga neg".

In an extended manner, the numerals are converted into their cardinal form in such a way that:
Mongolian to Hindu Arabic Numeral System:

The concept is similar, just take the number and change it into its symbolical representation in
such a way that:

33 = (guchin gurrav) = ᠓᠓
We can see that the three which is gurrav is just added after the 30 (guch) which makes 33 (guchin
gurrav). Note that the “–in” is added to guch.

930 = (yes euu guch) = ᠙᠓᠐


Зуу or euu is the cardinal of the numeral ᠓᠐ used after the “Dan”.

1001 = (myanga neg) = ᠑᠐᠐᠑
