== Natural Language ==
In the UNL<sup>arium</sup> framework, numerals are classified as:
*cardinal (CDN): describe quantity (“two”, “three”)
*ordinal (ORD): describe position (“first”, “second”)
*partitive (PTN): describe division (“half”, “two thirds”)
*multiplicative (MLN): describe repetition (“once”, “twice”)
*distributive (DTN): describe distributions (“in pairs”, “by the dozen”)
Numeral determiners must be classified as numerals.
 
== UNL ==
In UNL, numerals are to be replaced by numbers, without separators for thousands, and with "." for decimals. They are temporary UWs.
