This version of number was inspired from the standard
version in /usr/games, but with a big difference: It
knows how to count in a *lot* of languages, and can
be taught almost anything that it doesn't already know.
The information on how to count in a given language
is given in a grammar, written in a meta-language described
a little later. Grammars exist, as of this moment, for:
Cantonese French Japanese Spanish
Chinese (Mandarin) Gaellic (Irish) Malinke Susu
English German Pular Vietnamese
Esperanto Italian Romanian Dutch (Flemish)
Bavarian Roman Russian Polish
Mongolian Latin
