Symbolically numbers do not change, therefore '1','2','3', etc will remain the same. The names of numbers however will differ from the English language. As our calender uses latin for a basis for the names of months and days, the same basis has also been used for the numbers;
Zero = Nil One = Primak Two = Sekodak Three = Terak Four = Quartak Five = Quintak Six = Sextak Seven = Septak Eight =Octak Nine = Nonak Ten = Decimak
For numbers past ten, the first numeral of the number is taken from the first four letters of the word for that number. For instance,
11 = Deci-Primak
12 = Deci-Sekodak
20 = Seko-Nil

I disagree with this system.
Firstly, numbers should be no longer than two syllables.
Secondly, there should be benchmark 10's numbers.

I'm dubious of the decimal system, why not a different base? I have a base 4 number system made of simply the symbols \|/- so as to make it very easy and difficult to make mistakes (unlike 1-7 and 2-3)
But mainly the difference from the decimal system would be "quirky"
Romans had the roman system, Aztecs had base 360, etc
