About Numbers in Arabic

What the site covers

The written Modern Standard Arabic numbers from zero to a million: how they are built, pronounced and spelled, how they change with gender and with the noun they count, and where they turn up in dates, times and prices. Two pages cover the digits themselves, 0 to 9 and the Eastern Arabic set, because “Arabic numerals” in English usually means those.

The printable page has a 1 to 100 chart and a worksheet generator. Both are free to print and photocopy for classroom use, need no account, and put the answer key on its own page.

Who publishes it

Numbers in Arabic is published by Digital Signet, a UK company that runs a group of reference sites, including sister sites on numbers in other languages that share the same worksheet engine. The site is independent: it is not connected to any school, exam board, publisher or language academy, and it carries no advertising.

How the Arabic is sourced

The number rules follow the reference grammars of Modern Standard Arabic named on each page, chiefly Ryding’s and that of Badawi, Carter and Gully, with Wehr’s dictionary for spellings. Where usage varies, the site states the form it prints and the forms it accepts, on how the words are checked. Every number word is generated by one program and compared with a second, separately written one.

Corrections

If you find a mistake, contact Digital Signet through the details at digitalsignet.com. A correction to a number word is made in the engine and the checker together, so it reaches every page, chart and worksheet at once.
