When it comes to counting from 1-100 in Nepali, there are themes, and you can often make a good guess what a number will be, but you’re not always guaranteed to be right. The best presentation of them that I’ve seen is from the blog Learning Nepali. The Latin writing system isn’t a standardised one, but it gives you an idea of how the system is based on the smaller number coming first, and the tens number following (one-and-thirty, two-and-thirty) and some undercounting (one-from-eighty) with a later of sound change added on top to make it nice and difficult [original here].
Award-winning comedians and broadcasters Neil DelamereandDave Moore are launching a new podcast next week called "Why would you tell me that?”, seeking out incredible things they think everyone, including their co-host, should know! In each episode, with the help of a genuine expert, one of them answers the question, “Why would you tell me that?”
I had the great fortune of being interviewed by Neil and Dave for the first season of their podcast! We talked about everything from different ways of counting in the world’s languages, to Celtic influences on other languages, to some of the crazy grammatical things that different languages do. Check out the trailer for the podcast above, and be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss the episode!

Japanese Currency: 円 [えん] (It is pronounced ‘en’ and not ‘yen’)
So7300 yen is ななせんさんひゃくえん (nana sen san hyaku en); same as saying seven thousand three hundred yen.
Examples:
NowJapanese currency is counted in 10 thousands. So, 100,000 is 10,0000, that is じゆう まん (ten ten thousands) 200,000 is 20,0000, that is にじゅう まん (twenty ten thousands) 243,000 is 24,3000, that is にじゅう よん まん さんぜん (twenty four ten thousands and three thousand) 4,400,000 is 440,0000, that is よんひゃく よんじゅう まん (four hundred forty ten thousands) and so on…

I was watching a kdrama and they were tallying a vote and I was just like:
Cus I’d never considered the cultural implications of tally marks. Lol, I just thought lines to five are lines to 5, ya know? Then I read the whole wiki page and now I want to learn more!
Are there other ways? How do you make tallies? Tell me moooooooore lol ^-^

It’s not that common to find Latin taught at a Primary School level. Yesterday I taught Latin numbers to a class of grade 3-6 students and we all sang this counting song, Decem Urnae. They couldn’t stop giggling when we got to the number six.
