counting

MattisManzel:
A note about romanisation of asian languages: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepburn-System

Counting sucks less in English, more in German, in French totally. I mean saying “four times twenty plus twelve” for ninety-two isn’t really today’s language. Two-and-ninety in German, is not much better. That could be simplified, I think.

I German you could count

Eins zwei drei vier fünf sechs sieben acht neun zehn zehn-eins zehn-zwei zehn-drei zehn-vier zehn-fünf zehn-sechs zehn-sieben zehn-acht zehn-neun zwanzig zwanzig-eins usw.

Im Iare tausend-sechzig-sechs foct man aine Zlact.
