    They count very weird. For example to say 87 in french you say four twenties seven (quatre vingt sept) 92 in french is four twenties twelve (quatre vingt douze).

          I lucked out living in a place with a completely logical numbering system thankfully :3… even english is slightly weird with 11 and 12 not following the -teen pattern (guessing a holdover for using dozens/base12)
