I agree with the comment above. But there is a large rural population in India that 'thinks numbers' in the native language. May be the article is true only for numbers in the CJK (Chinese-Japense-Korean) languages. Atleast in the 3 Indian languages I know, numbers are bad in all of them - as bad as it is in English.

  Yes, but the decades are not related to digits. Two is "iki" while twenty is "yirmi".

    Yes. At least it's the relation is not visible to outsiders. Perhaps there's a hidden relation?
