Comments

Umlauts are considered distinct letters, so the smallest number containing an "o" is "eine Million", not "zwölf". Uses long scale as usual in German.

The values for n=27, ..., 30 refer to the letters ä, ö, ü, ß which are usually appended, in this order, at the end of the German alphabet.
