Basic Conversion

import { ToWords } from 'to-words';

const bd = new ToWords({ localeCode: 'bn-BD' });
const bn = new ToWords({ localeCode: 'bn-IN' });

bd.convert(63892); // "তেষট্টি হাজার আট শত বিরানব্বই"
bn.convert(100000); // lakh-scale wording
bn.convert(10000000);

Both Bengali locales expose lakh and crore style grouping, which is what most South Asian finance interfaces expect instead of western million-only phrasing.

Currency - Taka / Poysha

bd.convert(452.36, { currency: true });
bn.convert('1000.00', { currency: true, includeZeroFractional: true });

Ordinal Numbers

bd.toOrdinal(3);
bn.toOrdinal(25);

Regional Notes

• bn-BD is useful for Bangladesh-specific output
