Harry Potter moment? the last part (and 20) sounded like "Argus Filch."

@AkkordionBloke wow that is cool

[loyisse]

@HojoOSanagi

yes in breton we'd say; 1unan, 2daou, 3tri, 4pevar, 5pemp, 6c'hwec'h,7seiz,8eiz, 9nav,10dek

[Cathain78]

Sounds like a typical Ulster dialect pronunciation, which makes sense.

i remember my father God rest him teaching me to count in Irish

[XxLadyAssassinxX]

that's a strange accent

[SupernautG]

@DerBotoxPapst Fascinating how some sound the same and some are slightly off. The origins of languages (and how people forgot they were related) is an amazing concept.

@SupernautG serbian : do/dva, tri/tri, cetiri/ceathair, 6 sest/se, 7 sedam/seacht, 8 osam/ocht, 10 deset/deich :)

@zabeer26 So am I

[SupernautG]

I am just an amatuer at this but it does show the Indo-European language kinship here. For example using Irish first then the Greek words 1 aon/ena, 2 do/duo, 3 tri/trea, 4 ceathair/tessera, 6 se/exse, 7 seacht/epta, 8 ocht/ochto, 9 a naoi/enea, 10 deich/decca, 11 aon deag/endecca, 12 do dheag/do decca, 13 tre deag/decca tria, 14 ceathair deag/decca tessera, 16 se deag/ decca exse, 17 seacht deag/decca epta, 18 ocht deag/decca ochto. Very fascinating.
