      In south India, it’s actually 5×10+7 if you break it down (Am(5)-batthi(10)-ezhu(7))

      What kind of moronic map is this? And they don’t say 57 any different in North and South India.

      Korea has two counting systems. In the native Korean one, it’s actually 50+7 not 5×10+7

      It’s interesting how many different societies have counted things in 20s / scores.

      So in languages with 50+7 (and not 5×10+7) they have a word for 50 that is not 5×10? I really doubt that this is the case. I’d definitely put English as 5×10+7, for example even if „ten“ is not very explicit in fifty.

      Korea is only half right.

      오십칠 (5×10+7) (the chinese way)

      and

      쉬흔 일곱 (50+7) (the traditional korean way)

      And they are used very specifically for different situations, and used daily, like telling the time, age, etc.

      Like, to tell the time, for example, 5:35, you say something like “the fifth hour and thirty-five minutes” (다섯시 삼십오분). And it’s wrong to say it the other way)

      For age, like 65, you say “예순 다섯“ (60+5) and not “육십오” (6×10+5). Of course there are exceptions depending on the context but thats the norm.

      Hindi should almost be its own category that just says “57”. There’s almost nothing about sattaavan that would allow a newcomer to predict that saat plus pachaas would equal sattaavan

      Hindi basically has unique words for every number from 0-99 and it makes counting very difficult
