Is there a different gematria system for other languages besides hebrew?

When it comes to symbols and numbers, many cultures throughout the world have used them in various ways. Gematria is one such example of how certain languages use symbols and numbers to represent certain meanings or truths. Gematria is a system where each letter in a word is assigned a numerical value, which can be used for analysis and interpretation of words and phrases. But what many may not know is that there is more than one form of gematria – specifically, there are other systems of gematria for diverse languages other than Hebrew.

The Hebrew Gematria system has been used by Jews for centuries and it assigns numerical values between 1 and 400 to the 22 consonants of the Hebrew alphabet. It's believed that this system was originally based on the Kabbalistic teachings related to the separation of God's divine name into 72 three-letter names known as Shem ha-Meforash. This system follows a simple premise: letters in a name or phrase add up to represent certain qualities or hidden meanings related to the person or message.

But this isn't the only form of gematria out there – other languages have their own version of gematria as well. For instance, Greek Orthodox Christians use Isopsephy, which assigns numerical values ranging from 1-800 to each letter in the Greek alphabet. Similarly, Arabic also has its own variation called Abjad Calculation which assigns numerical values ranging from 0-1000 to each letter in the Arabic language. Non-religious forms of gematria also exist, such as Chaldean Numerology used by ancient Babylonians which assigns numerical values between 1-8 to each letter in an eight language alphabet derived from 48 cuneiform symbols known as Akkadian Cuneiform script. Other varieties include Greek Numerology which follows Pythagorean Numerology; Latin Gematria; Chinese numerals; Sanskrit numerals; and even Western Kabbalastic Gematria derived from Latin alphabets used by Kabalists today more commonly known as Sephir Yetzirah Formula.
