Lakh / crore grouping

The South Asian digit-grouping system where, after the first three digits, groups are of two: 1,23,456.78.

Definition

India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal group large numbers in the lakh (100,000) and crore (10,000,000) system. A number like 1,23,456.78 is correct there and wrong-looking anywhere that groups in threes. The grouping pattern is a per-country field, not a guess.
