Interlingua has used the comma as its decimal separator since the publication of the [[Interlingua: A Grammar of the International Language|Interlingua Grammar]] in 1951.<ref>{{cite web |series=Grammar of Interlingua |title=Parts of Speech – Numerals |url=http://members.optus.net/~ado_hall/interlingua/gi/parts_of_speech/numerals.html |access-date=2008-03-18 |url-status=dead |archive-url=http://arquivo.pt/wayback/20160516201404/http://members.optus.net/~ado_hall/interlingua/gi/parts_of_speech/numerals.html |archive-date=2016-05-16}}</ref>
Esperanto also uses the comma as its official decimal separator, while thousands are usually separated by [[non-breaking space]]s (e.g. {{nobr|12 345 678,9}}). It is possible to separate thousands by a [[full stop]] (e.g. {{nobr|12.345.678,9}}), though this is not as common.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Wennergren |first1=Bertilo |title=Plena Manlibro de Esperanta Gramatiko |location=Helposignoj |edition=15.4 |url=https://bertilow.com/pmeg/skribo_elparolo/skribo/helposignoj.html
Ido's ''Kompleta Gramatiko Detaloza di la Linguo Internaciona Ido'' (Complete Detailed Grammar of the International Language Ido) officially states that commas are used for the decimal separator while full stops are used to separate thousands, millions, etc. So the number 12,345,678.90123 (in American notation) for instance, would be written ''12.345.678,90123'' in Ido.
