In Swiss French we say « septante » (70) « huitante » (80) and « nonante » (90) which is better than counting by 20

So does Walloon French.

A couple of articles are telling me that Belgian French speakers use sepante and nonante, but not huitante? Is that the case?

I think so, never used huitante before, but then I'm Flemish, not Walloon.
