Yes, Years in dates should not be grouped. :) > * Should this grouping *always* be used, regardless of whether using indic or > western style digits? (see bug 29279) This grouping should always be used, regardless style of digits. For example Malayalam numbers are archaic now, but using Indian style grouping with borrowed digits. As well as one can see the words crore and lakh are directly derived from Hindi words Karode and lakh. > * Would there be any controversy or conflict over making this change for any > particular languages? As far as now this kind of grouping is the only style popular in India. Even English news papers use the words crore, lakh and 3,2,2,.. grouping. This kind of grouping is probably easily readable and understandable. > * Is there a complete list of which languages this should apply to? Currently Malayalam (ml), Hindi (hi), Sanskrit (sa), Tamil (ta), Kannada (kn), Telugu (te), Marathi (mr), Urdu (ur), Oriya (or), Bangali (bn), Panjabi (pa), Gujarati (gu), Bhojpuri (bho), Assamese (as), Kashmiri (ks) are okay with exception of date, with its own digits as well as with English (1,2,3,..,0) digits. There may be more languages such as Sinhalese (si), Burmese (my), Farsi (fa), Dhivehi (dv) and many other South East Asian language, which are using same style numbering system. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
