Wow... thanks, I never knew about that. As background to those unfamiliar with the region, ancient Southern Indian voyagers established Hindu kingdoms throughout this region (Indonesia, Cambodia, Vietnam). As such it follows that Indian systems of numeracy had also penetrated what is now central Vietnam (the Champa kingdom) and Indonesia (Srivijaya/Palembang).
