Kyrgyz кыргызча

BCP 47 language tag: ky

Lokalized supports cardinality, cardinality range, and ordinality rules for Kyrgyz.

Kyrgyz is most often spoken in Kyrgyzstan.

Cardinalities

  • CARDINALITY_ONE

    Matches n = 1

    Example Integers: 1

    Example Decimals: 1.0, 1.00, 1.000, 1.0000

  • CARDINALITY_OTHER

    Matches all other values

    Example Integers: 0, 2, 16, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000, 1000000, …

    Example Decimals: 0.0, 0.9, 1.1, 1.6, 10.0, 100.0, 1000.0, 10000.0, 100000.0, 1000000.0, …

Cardinality example

This localized strings example uses complete, page-local CLDR minimal-pair patterns to demonstrate every Cardinality category defined for the locale. Minimal-pair text contrasts grammatical forms; it is language-reference data, not reusable application copy.

Usage and expected results

The Java code passes each raw number for cardinality selection and formats its display value separately with NumberFormat.

Locale locale = Locale.forLanguageTag("ky");

Strings strings = Strings.withFallbackLocale(locale)
  .localizedStringSupplier(() -> LocalizedStringLoader.loadFromFilesystem(Paths.get("strings")))
  .localeSupplier((matcher) -> matcher.bestMatchFor(locale))
  .build();

NumberFormat numberFormat = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(locale);

// Raw numbers select language forms; NumberFormat produces the display values

// CARDINALITY_ONE
Number oneCardinalityValue = 1;
String oneFormattedCardinalityValue = numberFormat.format(oneCardinalityValue);

assertEquals(Cardinality.ONE, Cardinality.forNumber(oneCardinalityValue, locale));

// Expected: Себетте 1 Х бар. Аны аласызбы?
assertEquals("Себетте " + oneFormattedCardinalityValue + " Х бар. Аны аласызбы?", strings.get(
  "Cardinality.MinimalPair",
  Map.of(
    "cardinalityValue", oneCardinalityValue,
    "formattedCardinalityValue", oneFormattedCardinalityValue
  )
));

// CARDINALITY_OTHER
Number otherCardinalityValue = 0;
String otherFormattedCardinalityValue = numberFormat.format(otherCardinalityValue);

assertEquals(Cardinality.OTHER, Cardinality.forNumber(otherCardinalityValue, locale));

// Expected: Себетте 0 Х бар. Аларды аласызбы?
assertEquals("Себетте " + otherFormattedCardinalityValue + " Х бар. Аларды аласызбы?", strings.get(
  "Cardinality.MinimalPair",
  Map.of(
    "cardinalityValue", otherCardinalityValue,
    "formattedCardinalityValue", otherFormattedCardinalityValue
  )
));

Cardinality Ranges

These are CLDR's explicit range mappings. For any start/end pair not listed, Cardinality.forRange(...) falls back to the ending cardinality.

  • CARDINALITY_ONE - CARDINALITY_OTHER

    Matches CARDINALITY_OTHER

  • CARDINALITY_OTHER - CARDINALITY_ONE

    Matches CARDINALITY_ONE

  • CARDINALITY_OTHER - CARDINALITY_OTHER

    Matches CARDINALITY_OTHER

Ordinalities

All ordinal numbers use ORDINALITY_OTHER; no value selects a different form.

Example: 2-бурулуштан оңго бурулуңуз..

Addendum: Language Form Rules

The language form expressions above are specified by Unicode Technical Standard #35 and use the following notation:

  • n absolute value of the source number (integer and decimals)
  • i integer digits of n
  • v number of visible fraction digits in n, with trailing zeros
  • w number of visible fraction digits in n, without trailing zeros
  • f visible fractional digits in n, with trailing zeros
  • t visible fractional digits in n, without trailing zeros
  • c/e compact decimal exponent operands used by some CLDR compact-number rules
