Some people are guilty of thinking the world speaks English and has "named" numbers. Many languages, like Chinese, simply give double-digit numbers the equivalent "name" (like onety-one, twoty-two etc). Their word for 11 is literally 10+1, and all 2 figure numbers follow this form. 21 (er-shi-yi) would translate as 2x10+1 !

No it doesn't. Eleven and Twelve are commonly used in everyday life, thanks to the 12-hour clock. As such they have their own words (in most languages). Once you get to thirteen, they're just numbers so it's easier to start using a standard repetitive form.
