Hallo Lowlanders,

In my region, Zeeuws-Vlaanderen, I often heard older people use tachentig
instead tachtig. I don't know if it's more common in Zeeland or Flanders or

both.

Greetings, Frans Buter

hello Zintus, Ron and Randy

just to remind you of the peculiarities of the Danish
counting system, which also reflects a system base 20.

50=   (3-0.5)*(20):halvtredsindstyve
60=       (3)*(20):tresindstyve
70=   (4-0.5)*(20):halvfjerdsindstyve
80=       (4)*(20):firsindstyve
90=   (5-0.5)*(20):halvfemsindstyve

Leive leiglanners,

> in Emsland Low Saxon we count like "twintig" (20), dartig (30),
....sesstig
> (60), but then "sevenzig" (70), "achtzig" (80) and "negenzig" (90). So
the
> ending "-tig" (the equivalent to the English "-ty" is used up to sixty
(60).
>
> Starting from seventy (70) the Low Saxon ending "tig" is replaced by the
> German ending "zig".
