What Other Language Uses Numbers In Spanish

Why are Japanese numbers the same as English!?!?

Japanese numbers, more properly called numerals, are not the same as what we use in the English speaking world. Both in the English speaking world and in Japan the numerals that are most commonly used are Arabic numerals. Arabic numerals are used because they are most easily used for calculation. Arabic numerals were introduced into Europe in the late middle ages because of their greater efficiency over the Roman numerals which were inherited from the Roman Empire. Roman numerals came along with the Latin Language which was used as an international language and the language of higher learning throughout Europe. Roman numerals, based on Roman letters, are very difficult to calculate with and the Roman system has the disadvantage of having no zero. In English we use the Roman alphabet, but 1,2,3,4... are modified Arab numerals. I think that the Japanese got Arabic numerals from the Europeans.

You must use the term numerals rather than numbers. Everyone, everywhere uses the the same numbers regardless of how we might symbolize them. Math works the same in either Roman, Japanese, Chinese, Greek, Babylonian, or with toothpicks. It all represents the same values so the calculations are the same.

In the Japanese language, they have their own way of representing numbers. And, I believe they have two systems for doing this. One is formal, sort of like we spell out words for numbers e.g. two for "2". And an other with is simple sort of like in English speaking countries we use 1,2,3 etc. But most of the time they just use Arab numerals the same as we do. It is now and international system. See the website below for examples of the Japanese numbering (numeral) system.

So the answer to your question is that if you call them Japanese, they do not use the same numbers (numerals) as the English speaking world does--they have their own systems. As far as I know there are no English numerals except to spell out the names of the numbers in English. Both cultures English speaking and Japanese commonly use Arabic numerals.

Do numbers look the same in every language?

No.The digits we use in English (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9) are very widely used, but they are not the only digits in use around the world.For example, Arabic uses ٠ ١ ٢ ٣ ٤ ٥ ٦ ٧ ٨ ٩ instead, and Thai uses ๐ ๑ ๒ ๓ ๔ ๕ ๖ ๗ ๘ ๙.Some languages don’t even use a positional system; for example, Japanese 三百五 for 305 is not “three, zero, five” where the three indicates 300 by its position, but is explicitly “three, hundred, five”.

Does Spanish use the same written numbers as English?

Every language spoken in Europe and the Americas uses a late medieval version based on the Arab version of an Indian system and know as Arabic numbers (although they differ considerably from what modern Arabs use).
But this is only for cardinal numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.)
Each language add a different letter or letters for its ordinal numbers (1st, 2nd, 3rd in English become 1ier, 2eme, 3 eme etc. in French, 1º for primero in Spanish, 1ª for primera, 2º for secondo, 2º for seconda, etc.--and the same in Portuguese).
Most languages still use roman numbers for kings and popes, so that the emperor Charles the Fifth is Charles V in English and French, Carlos V in Spanish and Portuguese, Karl V in German, Carolus V in Latin.
