'''Chuvash numerals''' is an ancient [[numeral system]] from the [[Old Turkic alphabet|Old Turkic script]] the [[Chuvash people]] used. (Modern Chuvash use [[Hindu-Arabic numerals]].)

Those numerals originate from ''finger numeration''. They look like [[Roman numerals]], but larger numerals stay at the right side. It was possible to carve those numerals on wood. In some cases numerals were preserved until the beginning of the 20th century.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://festival.1september.ru/articles/649788/|title=Интегрированный урок на тему "Чувашские числовые знаки". 5-й класс|last=сентября»|first=Федотова Людмила Аркадьевна, Флегентова Апполинария Алексеевна, Издательский дом «Первое|website=festival.1september.ru|date=14 July 2014 |access-date=2016-06-17}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://nikiforova.21416s15.edusite.ru/DswMedia/17drevnyayachuvashskayapis-mennost-.pps|title=Chuvashskaya pismennost|last=Nikiforova|first=Ludmila|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160828114429/http://nikiforova.21416s15.edusite.ru/DswMedia/17drevnyayachuvashskayapis-mennost-.pps|archive-date=2016-08-28|url-status=dead}}</ref>
