r/linguistics on Reddit: Why do numbers get weird around 60 in French?
July 8, 2011 -

In French, soixante (60) is the last iteration of ten to have its own word. Going higher, such as seventy is soixant dix (60-10), eighty is quatre vingt (4-20), 90 is quatre vingt dix (4-20-10).

What's with this?

Does this date back to a base-six system? Shouldn't that mean everything stops at 5?

Are there any other languages that count like this?
