"Ruin: feniczoroark:  @randomnightlord    It has a lot to do with the flow.For example.English: Ninety-eight.German: Acht-un(d)-NeunzigBecause we germans end our numbers on ""hard"" letters it would ruin the flow.Neunzig-Acht for example. It just sounds shit.So us taking the smaller and shorter number first and adding the ""un(d)"" sound to it to make the whole number makes it easier to speak. Sounds nicer.And there the french come with their abomination of a language"
