Gaelic numbers: decimal and vigesimal

There are two number systems in Gaelic. Like  other Celtic languages, Gaelic counting was based on twenties (scores). Since the 1980s the decimal system has been used in Gaelic schools, but you will still hear people using the traditional forms so we will give you both!
