    Japanese pronounces some numbers different depending on what you are counting. Is this the same for Chinese?

      I think there are certain phrases found in different dialects of Chinese. In Cantonese, the formal way of reading twenty is 十二, but the colloquial term would be 廿.

      Edit: Should be 二十
