The Slovenian word with a slightly different spelling means „nothing” in Polish lmao
Also how do you do fellow Latin kids
null !== 0
Wait, zero, sifr is related to what we call number, siffra?
The Turkish and Arabic Sifir/Sifr are very close to the Dutch word for digit: cijfer. Must be related.
Why is Sıfır green?
Wow purple programmers have it hard.
Zero is the Latin word for basque for “zero”. However, we also have a basque word for it, “huts”.
What about nil?

In UK zero isn’t that common; ‘oh’, nil, nought are probably more used.

Any other English speakers say naught for zero?
Turkish is not a European language.
In Hungarian, “zéró,” which obviously comes from “zero,” is also a completely valid word to express the number 0. It’s not used as often as “nulla,” but often enough that almost all native Hungarian speakers will understand it.
Mann, what are they thinking in Bretagne?
Slovenians also say ‘nula’.
The Welsh/English border location is completely incorrect.
