There are 10 numeric digits in Bangla, representing the digits 1 to 9 and 0 (zero).
A number is sometimes associated with a noun to signify "how many". In Bangla, nouns cannot be counted by adding the numeral directly to the noun. The noun's measure word (MW) must be used between the numeral and the noun. Most nouns will take a generic MW like -টা -ţa, although specific MWs like -জন -jon for humans, are often used. For example,

| শূন্য ০ | shUnYo 0 | zero 0 |
| এক ১ | ek 1 | one 1 |
| দুই ২ | dui 2 | two 2 |
