Just for fun, I generated these graphs of the number of letters in the word for each number. I really spent about 10 minutes on this (ok...possibly also another 40 minutes tweaking the plots). I kind of like the jagged form of the curves.

A fun data exploration using Python to visualize the number of letters in number words across multiple languages (English, French, German, Spanish, Arabic, Russian, and Roman numerals). Using the num2words library and matplotlib, the author generates graphs up to one million, noting interesting patterns like German's regularity, Spanish's compactness, and English having longer words on average than other languages. Full source code is included.
