1. The Slovenian word with a slightly different spelling means „nothing” in Polish lmao

   Also how do you do fellow Latin kids

2. null !== 0

3. Wait, zero, sifr is related to what we call number, siffra?

4. The Turkish and Arabic Sifir/Sifr are very close to the Dutch word for digit: cijfer. Must be related.

5. Why is Sıfır green?

6. Wow purple programmers have it hard.

7. Zero is the Latin word for basque for “zero”. However, we also have a basque word for it, “huts”.

8. What about nil?

9. Breton people poking fun at King Charles (who is also [Lord of Mann](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_of_Mann))

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

11. μηδέν • (midén) means “nothing” in Greek.

    Etymology: From Ancient Greek μηδέν (mēdén, “nothing”).

12. Any other English speakers say naught for zero?

13. Turkish is not a European language.

14. 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.

15. Mann, what are they thinking in Bretagne?

16. Slovenians also say ‘nula’.

17. The Welsh/English border location is completely incorrect.

18. Why does Britons say man instead of cero? Are they stupid

19. Why do Romania has two types of saying?!🙃

20. Poland identifies as Latin.

21. No midens?
