Etymology
editInherited from Middle French vingt, from Old French vint, from Latin vīgintī, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁wih₁ḱm̥ti, *dwi(h₁)dḱm̥ti. The Latin -g- was regularly lost in Old French, but was added back to the spelling in Middle French (now placed after the -n- in order to maintain the pronunciation).
Pronunciation

Usage notes
edit- Apart from liaison contexts, the final -t is pronounced in the compound numbers 21 to 29: vingt-cinq /vɛ̃t.sɛ̃k/.
- In contrast, the final -t in vingt in 81 to 99 is never pronounced (No liason at all): quatre-vingt-un /ka.tʁə.vɛ̃.œ̃/ not */ka.tʁə.vɛ̃.tœ̃/.
- 80 is quatre-vingts with -s at the end. Therefore the liason for 80 is /s/ not /t/. But when used in a compound, the form quatre-vingt (without -s) is used, e.g. quatre-vingt-un.
- A minority of speakers also pronounce the -t in isolation (il y en a vingt). This is most common in Switzerland, Belgium, and adjacent regions of eastern France such as Nord-Pas-de-Calais, Champagne-Ardennes, Lorraine, Alsace and Franche-Comte. Some of these speakers pronounce the -t even before a consonant (vingt fois).
