Dzongkha (Bhutanese) & Tibetan traditionally follow a digit grouping
similar to the Indic one:
100 gchig brgya [one hundred]
1,000
About those numbers: (^_^)
Sometimes I like to write this for a pinball score:
34`8614`7040
Once I saw a Japanese use format like this: 42,9496,7296
but that is probably non-standard.

I discovered this weekend that Chinese, despite grouping large
numbers by ten thousands (I think I'm explaining this poorly - what I mean
is that the chinese language has numbers representing nx10^4, as opposed to
the nx10^3 used in english), write their digits with comma separators every
14 matches
