Just wait until you look into French numbers.
How different languages say 97:
๐ฌ๐ง: 90+7 (ok, there is some jank in English numbers - 13-19 are in line with the Germanic pronunciation, i.e. pronounced "right to left", as a weird hold-over from the more Germanic Old English)
๐ช๐ธ: 90+7
๐ฉ๐ช: 7+90
๐ซ๐ท: 4x20+10+7
And if you think that's bad, the Danes actually make the French look sane...
๐ฉ๐ฐ: 7+(-ยฝ+5)x20
Even Danes generally don't really know why their numbers are like that, they just remember and go along with it.
Meanwhile in CJK languages we just chill and say
9 x 10 + 7. Why doesn't everyone do that?I guess "ninety" likely stems from "nine tens", so I guess English isn't far off
