Chinese numeral expressions are mostly regular... in the "ten-one,
ten-two" situation the leading "one"s are omitted, and for large
numbers it is sometimes acceptable to just say the individual digits;
i remember having said something like "the file size is five four
three two eight zero six bytes" for my classmate to verify the
transferred data. And ordinals are formed by simply prefixing
cardinals.

Maybe the irregularities lie in alternative counting symbols like the
ancient Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches... actually not many
Chinese people can enumerate all of the characters, let alone writing
down them :P
