They do speak French, but some numbers are different, including 90.

I (german speaking part of switzerland) actually did learn it this way (90+2, nonante-deux) when learning french in school, in addition to 80 (huitante). Though we were told about the french way 420 and 420+10 etc.
Oh? "huitante" instead of "octante" ?
EDIT: Checked on Wikipedia, both are valid in Switzerland and Acadia (Nova Scotia) but "octante" is older and tend to be abandoned
In Switzerland, French speaking people say "septante" "octante" and "nonante" instead of "soixante-dix" "quatre-vingt" et "quatre-vingt-dix".
