2. Use it:

let numberWords = KurdishKurmanjiNumbersToWords.convert(9876)

How does it work?

It depends on the following rules:

• Digits from zero to nine are specific words, namely sifir [0], yek [1], du/didu [2], sê/sisê [3], çar [4], pênc [5], şeş [6], heft [7], heşt [8], and neh [9].
• Numbers from eleven to nineteen are made by setting the unit digit root before the word for ten (deh), with no space: yanzdeh/yazde(h) [11], dwanzdeh [12], sêzdeh [13], çardeh [14], panzdeh/pazdeh [15], şanzdeh/şazdeh [16], hivdeh [17], hijdeh [18], and nozdeh [19].
• The tens have specific names based on the multipliers digits roots, except for ten and twenty: deh [10], bîst [20], sî [30], çil [40], pêncî [50], şêst [60], heftê [70], heştê [80], and nod [90].
• The hundreds are built by telling the multiplier digit, then the word for hundred (sed), with no space (e.g.: pêncsed [500], şeşsed [600]).
• The thousands are built by telling the multiplier digit, then the word for thousand (hezar), with an exception for five thousand (e.g.: çar hezar [4,000], pênj hezar [5,000], şeş hezar [6,000]).
• Compound numbers are built by spelling out the ten, then the digit, united with the word û (e.g.: sî û du [32], heftê û yek [71]). The rule is the same between hundred and ten or unit, and between thousand and hundred (e.g.: sed û yek [101], hezar û dused [1,200]).
• There are also specific words for one hundred thousand (lek [100,000]), and five hundred thousands (kirûr [500,000]).
• One million is milyon.
• From one milyon to less than one billion works the same way as thousands (the 5's rule included)
• One billion is milyar
• More than 1 billion will be spelled a number by number
• The same rules applies for the Sorani version Most of these rules are from: Of Languages and Numbers
