Numerals are not a part of speech in English - in most cases they are adjectives. 
In fact, they could be almost whatever part of speech:

Verb: .

I 1 the lottery. 
I 8 all the cake myself.
Adverb:

I was 2 excited to talk.
Adjective:

The prize was 3 million dollars.
Preposition:

I bought the ticket 4 my birthday.
Noun:

The numbers I chose were 5, 6 and 7.
Interjection:

9, I don't speak German.

 

Just joking, of course. :-)
