Each row, column and main diagonals in the (left) magic square A totals 45.

Spell out [in English] each value and count its letters (10 -> TEN -> 3), and the result is another (right) magic square B with a magic sum of 21

Q. Can you get a similar B magic square nxn using only prime numbers in the A magic square, and using your own national language (not necessarily English) for n=3, 4, ...?
