Editing Thai numerals (section)

===Zero to ten===
Thai [[wikt:ศูนย์|sūn]] (zero) is written as oval [[0 (number)]] when using Arabic numerals, but a small circle {{lang|th|๐}} when using traditional numerals, and also means ''[[wikt:centre|centre]]'' in other contexts.<ref>[http://english-thai-dictionary.com/index.php?cx=partner-pub-8360351822208958%3Azew6y8qyzco&cof=FORID%3A10&ie=UTF-8&q=%E0%B8%A8%E0%B8%B9%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%A2%E0%B9%8C&sa=Dictionary-search&fields%5B%5D=related&siteurl=english-thai-dictionary.com%2F#911 English-Thai reverse lookup and synonyms]</ref> It is from [[Sanskrit]] ''[[śūnya]]'', as are the (context-driven) [[#Alternate numbers|alternate names for numbers]] one to four given below; but not the counting [[1 (number)]]. 

Thai names for ''N'' +1 and the regular digits 2 through 9 as shown in the table, below, resemble those in [[Varieties of Chinese|Chinese varieties]] (e.g., [[Cantonese language|Cantonese]] and [[Min Nan]]) as spoken in [[Southern China]], the homeland of the overseas Chinese living in South East Asia. In fact, the etymology of Thai numerals 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 is [[Middle Chinese]], while the etymology of Thai numeral 5 is [[Old Chinese]], as illustrated in the table below.<ref name="suthiwan">{{cite book|last=Suthiwan|first=Titima|author2=Uri Tadmor |title=Loanwords in the World's Languages: A Comparative Handbook|editor=Martin Haspelmath|publisher=Walter de Gruyter|date=2009|pages=606|isbn=9783110218442}}</ref>

[[Numerical digit]] characters, however, are almost identical to [[Khmer numerals]]. Thai and Lao words for numerals are almost identical, however, the numerical digits vary somewhat in shape. Shown above is a comparison between three languages using [[Standard Cantonese|Cantonese]] and [[Southern Min|Minnan]] [[Hanzi|characters]] and pronunciations. Shown below is a comparison between three languages using [[Khmer numerals]]: Thai, Khmer, and Lao. The Thai [[transliteration]] uses the [[Royal Thai General System of Transcription]] (RTGS).
