Only works in written form. Unless the alien says the number as one-zero.

Also, in a bijective number system, every base is 11. (they don't have 0)

edit: not true, brainfart

There is nothing about 10 in its pronounced form that means it HAS to come after 9.

No. If you write 11 in base b, bijective number system or not, that's b+1, not b.
