In [[basque language|Basque]], [[Serbo-Croatian]], [[czech language|Czech]], [[danish language|Danish]], [[estonian language|Estonian]], [[faroese language|Faroese]], [[finnish language|Finnish]], [[german language|German]], [[hungarian language|Hungarian]], [[icelandic language|Icelandic]], [[latvian language|Latvian]], [[norwegian language|Norwegian]], [[slovak language|Slovak]], [[slovene language|Slovene]], [[turkish language|Turkish]], among other languages,<!--, Swedish(?), ... --> a period or [[full stop]] is written after the numeral. In [[Polish language|Polish]], the period can be omitted if there is no ambiguity whether a given numeral is ordinal or cardinal. The only exceptions are variables in mathematics (''{{lang|pl|k+1-szy}}'' – ''{{lang|pl|(k+1)st}}'').<ref>{{cite web |url=https://sjp.pwn.pl/poradnia/haslo/wyraz-n-ty;15467.html |title=wyraz n-ty |website=Poradnia językowa PWN |language=pl}}</ref> Writing out the [[suffix|endings]] for various [[grammatical case|cases]], as sometimes happens in Czech and Slovak, is considered incorrect and uneducated. Should a [[full stop]] follow this dot, it is omitted. 

The Serbian standard of Serbo-Croatian (unlike the Croatian and Bosnian standards) uses the dot in role of the ordinal indicator only past Arabic numerals, while Roman numerals are used without a dot.

There is a problem with autocorrection, mobile editors, etc., which often force a capital initial letter in the word following the ordinal numbers.
