International Number system: Ones, Tens, Hundreds, Thousands, Ten thousand, Hundred thousand, millions, ten million, and so on.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Given: - The number is 34,20,019
First, let us discuss the Indian Number system and International number system in brief.
Indian Number system: The Indian numbering system is used in the Indian subcontinent to express a large number. Here, we write the numbers in digits from the starting but we decide the place value of digits i.e. at what place the digit is lying from the end digit of the given number.
The place value of digits from counting the last digits are given in order as ones, units place, Tens, Hundreds, Thousands, Ten Thousand, Lakhs, Ten Lakhs, Crores, Ten crores and so on.
Now, write the number given in words from the beginning taking care of the place value of the digits.
International Number system: The numbers written in words by this system are used internationally. Here, place values of digits are also the part for writing any number in words. The place values of digits go in the sequence of Ones, Tens, Hundreds, Thousands, Ten thousand, Hundred thousand, millions, ten million, and so on.
Since the comma is after 2 digits, so it is an Indian Number System.
So, start counting the places from a unit place i.e. 9. So, we can get 9 is at a unit place, 1 is at tens place, 0 is a hundred places, 0 is at thousand places, 2 is at ten thousand places, 4 is at Lakh place and 3 is at ten lakh place as per the rules of the number system.

Hence, the number 34,20,019 in the word is thirty-four lakhs twenty thousand and nineteen.

Note: One may get confused with the number as there are numbers of 0 at the place of hundreds and thousands. So, keep in mind that we need not write the hundredth place of this number as “zero hundred” or thousands place “zero two”. Just ignore both the zeroes. Don’t include them while writing the numbers in words, as it will be obvious that there will be zeros at hundredth and tens place if we did not write the terms in words.
