Numeraler

Numeraler is an open‑source software library designed for the analysis, conversion, and visualization of numeral systems across linguistic and mathematical contexts. Initiated in 2016 by a group of computational linguists and mathematicians, the project aims to provide a unified toolkit for handling Arabic, Roman, Maya, and other historic or contemporary numeral representations within a single framework. Implemented primarily in Python, Numeraler offers modules for parsing numeral strings, performing base‑conversion operations, and generating graphical representations of numeral hierarchies. Its API includes functions for validating numeral syntax, translating between numeral systems, and conducting statistical analyses of numeral usage within corpora.

The development of Numeraler is coordinated through a public repository on GitHub, where contributions are managed via standard version‑control practices. Documentation, examples, and unit tests are provided to facilitate adoption by researchers, educators, and developers. The library has been incorporated into several academic projects exploring the evolution of numeric notation, as well as in educational software that teaches number bases and historical counting methods. Numeraler is released under the MIT License, allowing unrestricted commercial and non‑commercial use. Ongoing maintenance is supported by a community of volunteers, and periodic releases introduce new numeral sets, performance optimizations, and compatibility updates for recent Python versions.
