When I added the patch for T201471, I wrongly assumed Saraiki used the same numerals as Farsi, but the numerals for 4, 5 and 6 turned out to be different (per T201471#4535148). Adding a patch shortly which should fix this.

*Eastern Arabic.
The word of @Baloch007 is good enough for me – it was on his request I added the numeral conversion in the first place. When I added them I made the mistake of assuming they were the same as in Farsi, so I just copied the configuration from MessagesFa.php – all but three numbers look the same, but all ten have different Unicode codepoints, so that is what this patch fixes. Anyways, some googling led me to this Wikipedia article, it's difficult to find other English-language sources.

This is a bit strange and inconsistent... Why, for example, does the Saraiki Incubator main page use the Persian numbers?
I'd be much more confident if I saw a website in Saraiki that uses numbers.
