I am returning again to the old topic of the numbering system of the Albanian language.
A vigesimal (/vɪˈdʒɛsɪməl/) or base-20 number system is based on the number twenty in the same way that the decimal number system is based on the number ten. Vigesimal is derived from the Latin adjective vicesimus, meaning 'twentieth'.
Etymology of the so-called Latin word.
VICESMUS
VIGESIMUS=
VI GE SIM+US=Us is a suffix
VI GE ZIM=
VI GE ZIM=
VI GE MI Z=
VI=place I (place)
GE=all
MI=over I (over)
Z=the Z code
Which means: Place all I's over Z
Or
VE Ge ME Z
Place all I's with Z.
Where MI has the code of Me+I, the adder of I's, but in the notion of going up, or increasing, or increasing the numbers, words derived from the code of I plus the codes M-soma, G-all and R code is already known to you.
G=all (G code)
Z=CLOSURE OF A SET OF NUMBERS (code of Z).
Z=20 in the code of Z as a number in the old Albanian language (the cross with two Z in the Vinca language).
Today's Albanian language has preserved this system up to the number forty. The rest is preserved in the Albanian language of the Chams, Arvanitas and Arbëresh of Italy.
Twenty is used as a basic number in Albanian. The word for 40 (two zet) means "twice 20".
This table-picture attached to the post, by Gjergj Miha, shows the numbers and the names of the numbers in the Arvanita dialect of the Albanian language.
From one to ten (1 - 10) they have no fundamental difference with the numbers of the Albanian language (the language of 1972). The difference is number four as floor, number 9 as ned, with d at the end and number 10 without dh but with d as diet. The numbers 20, 40, 80, 100, unlike the Albanian language, are:
Nje jet = twenty
De jet=forty
Jet jet = eighty
Nje kid=one hundred

While the Cham Albanians and the Chams living in Greece use all the numbers *zet. Basically, 20 means 1 zet, 40 means 2 zet, 60 means 3 zet and 80 means 4 zet.
The Arbëresh people in Italy also use also trizet for 60.
Basically, the Albanian language with its dialects has this system:
20 means 1 zet,
40 means 2 zet,
60 means 3 zet
and 80 means 4 zet.
(Which had to be taken into account when the standard language was built on 1972)
Albanian is the only language in the Balkans that has preserved elements of the vigesimal number system side by side with the decimal system. The existence of two systems in Albanian reflects the contribution of the pre-Indo-European peoples of the Balkans in the formation of the Paleo-Balkan Indo-European tribes and their language.
I have to mention here that the Burushaski number system is base-20. For example, 20 altar, 40 alto-altar (2 times 20), 60 ischi-altar (3 times 20) etc.
