Hello, I think that this language should use the Arabic numerals (european) instead of Indian ones, as is the case in Tunisia, many Arabian people do not understand this format of numbers !

What do you think ? :)

Actually, most arabs use Eastern Arabic Numerals https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Arabic_numerals

@rednaks This is very old but no harm I guess to reply. As @skeuomorf said, the official numerals in Arabic language is in fact the Eastern Numerals.
Arabs unfortunately, seem to build/invent/make then abandon.

Agreed that the official numerals are East Arabic, and that's certainly what I grew up reading. Primarily, though, for the purposes of this project, maximizing the distance from ASCII is the key metric, and East Arabic numerals do that best.
