Swiss French is rather "huitante", and also that not in all regions ("quatre-vingt" in the rest), see https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fran%C3%A7ais_de_Suisse#Nombre...

French is actually not so weird if you think about what a "score" is in English. Gettysburg address literally begins with "four score and seven years ago", which equals to 87.
