Lingua::EU::Numbers Description

Lingua::EU::Numbers Perl module converts numbers into Bask (Euskara). Lingua::EU::Numbers Perl module converts numbers into Bask (Euskara).SYNOPSIS # Functional interface use Lingua::EU::Numbers; my $number = shift; print "The cardinal value of $number is " . cardinal2alpha($number) . " in Euskara.n"; print "The ordinal value of $number is " . ordinal2alpha($number) . " in Euskara.n";This module converts numbers (cardinals and ordinals) into their Bask (Euskara) equivalents. It accepts positive integers up to, but not including, 1 trillion. Incidentally, the Bask counting system is vigesimal, i.e. base 20.The module uses unified Bask (Euskara Batua), which sometimes varies from the Bask spoken in the seven Bask provinces, especially from Labourd (Lapurdi) in the Northen Bask Country (Ipar Euskal Herria). However, Euskara Batua is the official Bask taught in Bask schools (Ikastolak) throughout the seven provinces.For example, the cardinal '18' is 'hemezortzi' in Euskara Batua, while it is 'hamazortzi' in Lapurdi. Those who wish to use their own version of Euskara can export %num2alpha and modify it at their own discretion.A Bask legend says that even the Devil did not succeed in learning this truly unique language, but that should not deter you from doing so. Euskara is an orphan language of mysterious origins, apparently unrelated to any language anywhere else in the world. It is believed to predate the Indo-European invasion and if so, this is one of the world's most ancient languages.Bask people refer to themselves as Euskaldunak, or 'speakers of the Euskara'. Being part of the Bask Nation is a question of language, not ethnicity or place of birth. There is not even a word for 'being a Bask' in Euskara. So if you learn this fascinating language, you too can become Euskaldun. Requirements: · Perl
