This is a great quiz, but I’m highly skeptical of the idea that any of the African cities have a majority of Portuguese or French native speakers. Just because they have the languages as official, does not mean a majority speak it natively. Native African languages are far more common, so the should not make the list. Would you post your source for the languages?

I don't have any statistics, but this quiz doesn't ask for natively spoken, just spoken in general. Colonial languages are a lingua franca in many African countries. Capital cities often draw people from all around the country, so there more than anywhere else is a lingua franca likely to be used.

I agree in that I'd guess very, very few people in Luanda speak Portuguese natively, but it wouldn't surprise me if more than half of them are fluent in Portuguese and speak it daily. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I believe Bucharest would also still make the top 50 barely, considering that Romanian is a romance language. According to Wikipedia, the Bucharest metro population is of 2.3 million.

Does Brussels not make it? I thought they also spoke French.

Edit: nevermind, the source lists Grande Vitoria then Havana then Brussels.
