This numbering system (also known as Indian numbering system) is widely used in the subcontinent, including Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka to express large numbers. The terms lakh and crore are commonly used in everyday scenarios. The library currently supports formatting all the way up to sankha.
lakh-crore-numbers is available on PyPI:
python -m pip install lakh-crore-numbers
As of now, the library is written for the following languages. Support for more subcontinental languages across other programming languages will be added over time. Please feel free to open a PR for a language you want this library to support.
The current goal of the library is to be format numbers into two types of representation.
A handful of functions are available on the top level import to facilitate this.
import lakh_crore_numbers as lcn
assert lcn.format_to_nepali_numeral(783456) == '७८३४५६'
import lakh_crore_numbers as lcn
assert lcn.format_to_nepali_words(901489783456) == 'नौ खर्ब एक अर्ब अठचालीस करोड सन्तानब्बे लाख त्रियासी हजार चार सय छपन्न'
