to Pakistanis and Bengalis: crore

[Abu Abdallah al-Bulghari]

Hindis use "Crore" as a numerical unit in their English language. I wonder if it is also used in Pakistan English by native Urdu speakers. Does Urdu have "crore" in it?

I, personally, haven't come across the word being used in English context.

I think they used to back in the days, like on news and stuff. With their try-hard accents (think Bollywood actressess) and their 'burger' English...some Pakistanis may know what I'm talking about. They have lakh (1,00,000 - yeah the commas are actually in the right place lol), crore (1,00,00,000 - i.e. 100 lakhs or 10 million) and I'm pretty sure they have 'arab as well, but don't know how much that is.
