mille neuf cent quatre-vingt dix-huit
dix-neuf cent quatre-vingt dix-huit
both forms are correct but for year telling, the first one is used from 1000 to 1699, and the second afterwards until 1999. For years after 2000 you have to say deux mille etc.
P.S. the form dix-neuf quatre-vingt dix-huit is colloquial and never used in writing. Only in date you can use mil instead of mille.

mille neuf cent quatre vingt dix-huit
mil neuf cent quatre vingt dix-huit
dix-neuf cent quatre vingt dix-huit
these three forms are correct even though the second one is less usual as the other two(some will say it's old French, but it's not).Believe me I'm French
hyphen link between tens and units only

Dix neuf quatre-vingt dix-huit.
Avant 2000 il faut décomposer le nombre en 2. Par exemple 1998 c'est 19/98. Soit dix-neuf/quatre-vingt-dix-huit= nineteen/ninety-eight.
