Bit of a sidenote.

Are the English numbers 11-20 influencer by the base 20 system of french back when we had French speaking royalty? And for some reason they’re the only unique “digits” for lack of a better term that survived because once we get to twenty it’s a pure base 10 system with a consistent pattern throughout.

I’m hoping someone more knowledgeable than me can tell me if my thinking is correct or not.
