Use a Bhutan locale in a product
When content is written in Dzongkha, use the lang tag below to describe the text. The Intl locale selects regional formatting. This is one example from the table, not a claim about every visitor's language preference.
<html lang="dz">
new Intl.NumberFormat("dz-BT").format(1234567.89);Compare number and date formatting
These examples use 1234567.89 and the fixed instant 2026-01-15T13:45:00Z, with dates displayed in UTC. Intl computes the results when this site is built; your browser and locale-data version may differ. Unsupported tags are identified instead of showing default-language output.
| Locale | Number | Date | Currency |
|---|---|---|---|
dz-BT | ༡༢,༣༤,༥༦༧.༨༩ | སྤྱི་ལོ་༢༠༢༦ ཟླ་དངཔ་ ཚེས་ ༡༥ | BTN: Nu. ༡,༢༣༤.༥༠ INR: ₹༡,༢༣༤.༥༠ |

new Intl.NumberFormat("dz-BT", { style: "currency", currency: "BTN" }).format(1234.5);new Intl.NumberFormat("dz-BT", { style: "currency", currency: "INR" }).format(1234.5);Before adopting a tag, run Intl.NumberFormat.supportedLocalesOf() and Intl.DateTimeFormat.supportedLocalesOf() in your target runtime. A locale does not select a time zone or translate interface text; specify currency explicitly when formatting money.
