Why Do We Say Eleven and Twelve Instead of Oneteen and Twoteen?

With the exception of zero through ten, most numbers seem to follow a formulaic pattern when written or said aloud: you say the tens place followed by the units place (though this is flipped for the teens). When you were younger and were taught how to count, you could apply this pattern to easily count to 100 and beyond. But you also may have realized there were two numbers that didn’t quite seem to fit the pattern, the outliers eleven and twelve. And now, you may be asking yourself: why do we say eleven and twelve instead of oneteen and twoteen?
