符号“0”起源于印度,在公元前2000年或前1500年,最古老的印度文献中已有应用. 很多民族采取空位的方法表示“0”.在印度,“0”读作“苏涅亚”,表示“空的位置”的意思.他们把一个数中缺位的数字称为“苏涅亚”.继而,0这个数字从印度传入阿拉伯,阿拉伯人把它翻译为“契弗尔”,仍然表示“空位”的意思.后来,又从阿拉伯传到欧洲,英语中的“cipher”,直到现在还被解释为零. The symbol “0” originated in India and was applied in the oldest Indian literature in 2000 BC or 1500 BC. Many peoples use vacancies to represent “0.” In India, “0” reads “Sugenh” “Asia” means the meaning of “empty position.” They call the number missing in the number “Sunia”. Then, the figure of 0 is introduced into India from Arabs, and the Arabs translate it as “Chelfer.” “” Still means “empty”. Later, from Arabic to Europe, “cipher” in English has been interpreted as zero.
