In Japanese, you say something like five round-things-quantifier balls, two human-quantifier people, etc.

I was thinking of this example when asked how many counting systems there are in Irish. But Japanese has two systems also.
A. Chinese reading
1. ichi
2. ni
3. san
4. shi ("yon" is used because "shi" sounds like death)
5. go
6. roku
7. shichi (pron "nana"; see 4 above)
8. hachi
9. kyu
10. juu

These are combined with count-words like "hon", "nin", "mai", "hiki" or whatever, depending on what's being counted. E.g. sambiki no kobuta - the 3 little pigs.

B. Japanese reading:
1. hitotsu
2. futatsu
3. mittsu
4. yottsu
5. itsutsu
6. muttsu
7. nanatsu
8. yattsu
9. kokonotsu
10. too

These are used without any count-words; e.g. kobuta ga mittsu - (there are) 3 little pigs.
