What is the Arabic number zero?
Zero is pronounced “Say-fur” in Arabic. The concept of zero originated in India and the Arab world and was introduced to Europe during the Crusades.
Similarly to the English language, “zero” is not usually used in reading numbers unless you are reading cardinal numbers, such as a debit card number or a phone number.
