In Belgium, it's Septante, Huitante, and Nonante.
Nonante, not neuvante but yes. In Switzerland and Québec too if I'm not mistaken.
I believe in québécois French they use octante instead of huitante
No, we use quatre-vignt dix (4x20+10), just like the French. If anyone is using octante or huitante, it is not common parlance to say the least.
You mean quatre-vingt, not quatre-vingt-dix right?
