Malagasy-numberwords – Cardinal, ordinal, decimal, percentage, currency and date number words in Malagasy

This package generates cardinal, ordinal, decimal, percentage, currency (ariary), and date number words in Malagasy (malagasy), the Austronesian language of Madagascar.

The Malagasy numeral system composes numbers in reverse order (units before tens before hundreds), links constituents with connectors (amby, sy) whose choice depends on the morphological form of the following word rather than its position, and exhibits a recursive cyclic behaviour beyond one million rather than a fixed set of scale names. This package formalises these rules from written sources and native speaker input, with every rule traced to a source and a confidence status.

This CTAN package provides the LaTeX interface (malagasy-numberwords.sty), matching character-for-character a reference Python implementation, plus an interoperability layer for fmtcount (fc-malagasy-numberwords.def, loaded via the package’s own \MalagasyLoadFmtcountSupport command rather than fmtcount’s usual \FCloadlang, since the file is deliberately not named fc-malagasy.def – see the included README.md for details). Two compilable examples are included.
