Norway does both 90 + 2 and 2 + 90. Depends mostly on region and person’s age.

How would that even work? Like how many characters are in that number when you spell it?

In English, the German/Dutch way used to be common too – for example, you might have said your age is 3 and 20 instead of 23. You see it a lot in older writing. Not sure when exactly it fell out of favour though – probably over the course of the 19th century if I had to guess.

Switzerland is more complicated. I think this map assumes everybody speaks German, but I’ve been to Geneva, which is in the Francophone part in the West.
In France, it’s *quatre-vingt douze* (four-twenties and twelve). In Francophone Switzerland, it’s different: they say *nonante-deux* (ninety and two).

Georgia is same as France

Welsh is closer to 9*10+2

Georgia is out of the picture, they’re almost like French, but they’re consistent and they count all 1-99s as 20*N+M where M is 0 to 19.

I hear that it come form substrate language, that was probably related to Basques because they count similar.

Again this map reported for 200x time, and each time with less pixels
Also, Czechia should be green and blue, both combinations are commonly used
Мы вернёмся домой, будем молча смотреть….

Love that this map totally ignores multilingual states.
