You're not one to talk. Might venture a google search before assuming another person is in the wrong.

On utilise septante, octante/huitante, et nonante en Belgique et des cantons de Suisse.

O really? So my higher level French text book, and my French teacher who has a masters degree, and is fluent in French, is wrong? You trust everything to google? For fuck sake, accept that I'm right you fucking tool.

Shaknbake is right, though. In areas outside of France, they use those words. In France, it is incredibly rare to hear "septante" or any other variants of the other numbers. They are understood but not used. Areas like Belgium and parts of Switzerland use these variants as opposed to say, "quatre-vingt" but those are understood as well. Just a regional thing.

This is absolutely right, but in Belgium:
soixante-dix = septante
quatre-vingt-dix = neunante

Jamais entendu de "octante/huitante." C'est fort commun en Suisse?

Yes, but the OP asked for it French, from the French region. Making my original post right. What Shaknbake was doing was giving other versions, as you said. But mine is correct for France itself, and not Belgium or Switzerland

Well, he said "French", and French is spoken as an official language in Belgium, so it can't really do harm to show him how it's said in places other than France.
