I noticed that people sometimes use fuchzehn and fuchzig instead of fünfzehn and fünfzig. Is there a certain reason or is this just dialect?

4I have never heard that. We sometimes use "fuffzehn" and "fuffzig" in common speech (and "Nullachtfuffzehn").– hellcodeCommented Aug 5, 2014 at 14:53

1@FranzEbner Why not? It is denoted as dialect.– user6191Commented Aug 5, 2014 at 15:10

1@Carlster What would happen, if everyone would add his own dialect words? This would end in a total mess, unusable.– Franz EbnerCommented Aug 5, 2014 at 16:18

2These words are used in several Austrian and Bavarian dialects. I can definitely confirm they are used here (Niederösterreich/Wien).– HulkCommented Aug 6, 2014 at 6:58

It's just dialect. Only "fünfzehn" and "fünfzig" are correct.
The pronunciation fuchzehn (as well as fuffzehn) is a regional variant of the standard German word fünfzehn. It is mainly used in the south-east of the German language area. The area of distribution is shown in a linguistic map of the linguistic atlas Atlas zur deutschen Alltagssprache:
Ich kenne nur fuffzig und fuffzehn (Dialekt), nicht "fuchzig" oder "fuchzehn".

1In Dialekten gibt es bekanntlich keine standardisierte Schreibweise oder Aussprache. Ich kenne jedenfalls beide Varianten.– IngmarCommented Aug 8, 2014 at 10:10
