I had initially intended to include Indo-Iranian languages, but decided against it as the quiz took me quite a long time to format.

I tried Scots, Scottish and Gaelic, but not Scottish Gaelic. Would you allow some flexibility there? I think it is normally called Scots.

Scots is a very different language than Scottish Gaelic and is in the quiz, it's closely related to English.

Please accept Arpetan, with an E.

Also why are some languages unguessable or lumped in with others?

I wonder why this doesn't include Polabian if it has other extinct languages like Old Prussian.

Also surprised that Flemish doesn't autofill when typed Dutch. I thought most linguists consider them to be one language.
