What's the best language for learning maths?

Danish is a nightmare. It takes the worst bits of French, the worst of German, and adds its own devil twists.

But like the authors say, there is a point to be made for education systems too. Eg. Japanese multiplication method is brilliant, I wish I had learned that way!

Not only that, but the Chinese syllables are also easier (notice that "twelve" also has only one syllable). There is at most one consonant before the main vowel, and at most one "tail" after the main vowel which is also rather easy: -i, -u, -n, -ng.

I think it is the tones that keeps Chinese syllables easier while expressive.

It seems Chinese homonyms are edge oriented or connectionist whereas other languages with words of lengthy tails are node oriented if visualized in a crystal lattice of mosaic beads.

That’s not what the article says at all.

Chinese and Welsh might be better for this because the way they write and speak numbers is more consistent.

No seven-teen vs twenty-seven, no magical words such as eleven, twelve, and thirty but ten-seven, two-ten-seven, ten-one, ten-two, and three-ten)
