are commonly used in everyday scenarios. The library currently supports formatting all the way up to sankha
.

Documentation
The current goal of the library is to be format numbers into two types of representation.
- Number expressed as numeral in the target language
- Number expressed as words in the target language
A handful of functions are available on the top level import to facilitate this.
Formatting to Numerals (Nepali / नेपाली)
import lakh_crore_numbers as lcn
assert lcn.format_to_nepali_numeral(783456) == '७८३४५६'
Formatting to Words (Nepali / नेपाली)
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'
