If we take the number 26, there is two ways of reading this sign: from left to right, you will have included French, English, Russian, Greek… from right to left; we have German, Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi… So, we can classify languages in two categories: in the first, we begin with dozens and we finish with units. In the second, we start with units and then conclude with dozens.
For this part, we used mostly Google translate, a free online automatic translation service. With this software we found some mistakes. Please help us updating this list.
