Why do numbers get weird around 60 in French?
From Wikipedia: The reintroduction of a vigesimal system of counting by increments of 20 (e.g. soixante-dix "70" lit. "sixty-ten"; quatre-vingts "80" lit. "four-twenties"; quatre-vingt-dix "90" lit. "four-twenty-ten") is due to North Germanic influence, first appearing in Normandy, in northern France. From there, it spread south after the formation of the French Republic, replacing the typical Romance forms still used today in Belgian and Swiss French. The current vigesimal system was introduced by the Vikings and adopted by the Normans who popularised its use (cf Danish tresindstyve, literally 2 times 30, or 60; English four score and seven for 87)[citation needed]. Pre-Roman Celtic languages in Gaul also made use of a vigesimal system, but this system largely vanished early in French linguistic history or became severely marginalised in its range. The Nordic vigesimal system may possibly derive ultimately from the Celtic. Old French also had treis vingts, cinq vingts. (cf. Welsh ugain "20", deugain "40", pedwar ugain "80" lit. "four-twenties"). EDIT: Are there any other languages that count like this? Pretty close, at least. More on reddit.com

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?
