Are there other languages besides English that append suffixes to Arabic numerals?

Are there any other languages besides English or cultures, that append suffixes to Arabic Numerals such as 1st or 2nd?

Do other cultures/locales use the English suffixes?

I'm including this on stackoverflow because it directly relates to localization in applications I work on.

Yes.

Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinal_indicator.

In Klingon you add "DIch" to the number, apparently, to represent ordinality.
