Saterland Frisian numbering rules

Digits and numbers from one to twelve are specific words: een (masculine: aan) [1], two (masculine: twäin) [2], tjo (masculine: träi) [3], fjauer [4], fieuw [5], säks [6], soogen [7], oachte [8], njuugen [9], tjoon [10], alwen [11], and tweelich [12].
From thirteen to nineteen, the numbers are formed from the matching multipliar digit, adding the word for ten (tien) at the end: trättien [13], fjautien [14], füüftien [15], säkstien [16], soogentien [17], achttien [18], and njuugentien [19].
The tens are formed by adding the suffix -tich at the end of the digits, with the exception of ten: tjoon [10], twintich [20], trüütich [30], fjautich [40], füüftich [50], säkstich [60], soogentich [70], tachentich [80], and njuugentich [90].
From twenty-one to ninety-nine, the tens and units are joined with the word un (and), but the unit is said before the ten (e.g.: eenuntrüütich [31], fieuwunfjautich [45]).
Hundred (hunnert) and thousand (duusend) are not separated from their multiplier by a space (e.g.: twohunnert [200], tjoduusend [3,000], tjoonduusend [10,000]).
