Most (all?) Slavic languages just go oneteen twoteen. There's a word for 12 (tuzin) and 60 (kopa) but very rarely used.

On the other hand we have a word for 1.5 which is sorely missing in English - półtora.

On the other other hand English does weird stuff with thousands - saying 2300 as 23 hundred.
