Number name[edit]

Several languages, especially ones with vigesimal number systems, do not have a specific word for 70: for example, French: soixante-dix, lit.'sixty-ten'; Danish: halvfjerds, short for halvfjerdsindstyve, 'three and a half score'. (For French, this is true only in France; other French-speaking regions such as Belgium, Switzerland, Aosta Valley and Jersey use septante.[8])
