Bangla numbers 60 to 69 (ষাট থেকে ঊনসত্তর)
Sixty is where two words collide. ষাট (60) and সাত (7) sound almost identical; the difference is the final consonant — retroflex ট in ষাট, dental ত in সাত. That distinction is the subject of the retroflex and dental guide, and this is the place it costs you money. The decade itself is regular: -ষট্টি throughout.
