What alphabet is this?

Let the game begin with this image. It contains several alphabets, most of them ancient. You are looking at their numerical system only. (1-10, 1-200 etc.) This is a test to see if you can identify which ancient language it is by only their numbers. 

Leave your answers in the comment section. 
If you have time, can you identify these alphabets?

A: Babylonian B: Indus Valley Script. C: ?. D: Sumerian Cuneiform. E: Ancient Chinese. F: Navajo.

Persian, Urdu, ?, Korean, Tibetan, ?, ?, Amheric.

Those are my off-the-top-of-my-head guesses. I'm sure my spelling is off on some of those.
