Vigesimal in a sentence as an adjective

And then French has their vigesimal thing - 92 is quatre-vingt-douze, ie. "four twentys and twelve".

Celtic/Norman cultures/languages were vigesimal, but with the Romans came Latin which is decimal.

Some apparently used full or partial vigesimal systems such as in Basque, Breton, Normans, maybe Gaulish too.

It's not hard to imagine that number systems like duodecimal or vigesimal are based on counting subitized groups.

More likely decimal and vigesimal forms originated at the same time, depending on the factors I mentioned above.

The sometimes-decimal/sometimes-vigesimal thing still makes my head spin all these years later when I hear numbers being spoken in French.
