	'''NumWord''' ~~deals with the~~ number words in natural languages. You can enter a sequence of digits, and the program will write the number word as it is spelled in the desired language. ~~Likewise~~, ~~a number word can be entered and the program will write the corresponding number as a sequence of digits~~.		'''NumWord''' generates and parses number words in natural languages. You can enter a sequence of digits, and the program will write the number word as it is spelled in the desired language. For example, it tells you that
			* ''194706'' is ''einhundertvierundneunzigtausendsiebenhundertsechs'' in German, or that
			* ''mille neuf cent quarante-sept'' is ''1947'' in French.

	~~Furthermore~~, ~~the module maps numbers to a few~~ calendar~~-related sets of words~~ in ~~natural languages:~~		The program can be used for vocabulary trainers, calendar programs, spelling clocks, check amounts in writing and the like.

	* 1..7 to ~~weekday names~~ (~~Monday~~ .~~.. Sunday~~) ~~and their abbreviations~~		In western languages, the higher numbers use common latin prefixes for powers of 10^3 or 10^6: "mill", "bill", "trill" and so on. In German, the program spells numbers up to (10^6)^20 = "Vigintilliarden".
	* 1..12 to month names (~~January ... December~~)
	* 1..4 to words for seasons (~~spring, summer, autumn, winter~~)		===Implemented Languages ===

== Overview ==

'''NumWord''' deals with the number words in natural languages. You can enter a sequence of digits, and the program will write the number word as it is spelled in the desired language. Likewise, a number word can be entered and the program will write the corresponding number as a sequence of digits.

Furthermore, the module maps numbers to a few calendar-related sets of words in natural languages:

* 1..7 to weekday names (Monday ... Sunday) and their abbreviations
* 1..12 to month names (January ... December)
* 1..4 to words for seasons (spring, summer, autumn, winter)

== Applications ==

* Fun for children
* eLearning
* Printing of the amount in words on checks
* Internationalized calendar
* Extraction of numbers and dates from long texts like the bible

== Possible Future Extensions ==

* angle to compass direction (north, east ...)
* Ordinal numbers (second, third, fourth ...)
* Fractions (half, third, quarter ...)
* Multiples (twice, three times ...), or threefold
* Prefixes for positive (deca, hecto, kilo ...) and negative powers of 10 (dezi, centi, milli ...)
* Genealogical hierarchy
* More languages
* Braille output
* Declination of number words (especially ordinal numbers)
* Evangelists/Gospels
* Apostel/Disciples
* Bible books
* Astrological periods (Sagittarius, Cancer ...), link to ''churchcal''
* Planets of the sun (Mercure = 1, Venus = 2, Earth = 3 ...)
* Euro countries
* Unicode characters
* RGB color values
* Nebulae (M-number) with their galactical positions
* International telephone prefix numbers and corresponding country names (49 = Germany)
* numerical country codes
* Towns by their postal codes
* ISBN book seller prefixes
* Hexadecimal, binary, octal converter
* Text -> SMS digits (multiple or T9)
* reference to Wikipedia article for the number, in specified language (done)
* show on Abacus

== Problems ==

* For right-to-left languages (Arabic) the lists are not always displayed properly.
* Testing is rather difficult if you are not a native speaker of the language.
* Some languages declinate words for small numbers (1,2,3). The current implementation doesn't attempt to handle variations for gender, numerus and case properly, except for singular/plural of million, milliard, billion etc. Dual is also not yet supported.
* It is an interesting fact that the numbering schemes in most languages use powers of 1000, but there are exceptions where special words for (powers of) 10000 are used (Klingon, ''SinoSpeller'').
* For the languages based on powers of 1000, a fixed set of Latin prefixes is used for numbers >= 1 million (c.f. ''BaseSpeller.wordN000''). For some languages these prefixes must be modified (cyrillic character set, c -> k in German).
* Some languages still use different number word sets for living entities, cattle, money etc. There is currently no attempt to handle these variations.
