Yes, they do :tongue: have a look at Belgian French. They changed it :tongue:


Props to them tbfh. I've heard that some regions in France do have like ''colloquial'' terms for 70, 80, 90 to overcome it as well thankfully.

I'm glad, I thought some of the German numbering was weird e.g. 43 (dreiundvierzig - 3 and fourty...) but then French was something else xD
