Locale codes: ta-IN · Numbering system: Indian scale · Currency: Rupee / Paisa · Script: Tamil

npm install to-words

Basic Conversion

import { ToWords } from 'to-words';

const tw = new ToWords({ localeCode: 'ta-IN' });

tw.convert(125);
tw.convert(100000); // lakh-scale wording
tw.convert(10000000); // crore-scale wording

Tamil follows Indian grouping with words such as லட்சம் and கோடி, so large-number output matches common usage in India instead of western million-only phrasing.

Currency - Rupee / Paisa

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

Ordinal Numbers

tw.toOrdinal(3);
tw.toOrdinal(20);
tw.toOrdinal(100000);
