I will add a feature so that the yellow box highlights the corresponding language. If anyone knows any other quiz that uses that feature, could you please post a link to it in the comments? It would be of great help to learn to do it myself.

According to the SVG Guide, the class .svg-highlight {(style)} should do the trick.

Please note that transparent 'regions' on the map represents areas where the language is a complete minority. It is a great tragedy, but many of the smaller languages are in danger of being lost with each passing generation. This is in part due to harmful policies (some countries are infamous for this, such as France), but another huge cause is modernization in the age of information, in addition to apathy towards the language from the younger generations.

I watched a video which gave me an interesting perspective, that if you are a speaker of a smaller language, even if it is the sole national language of your country such as Icelandic, you really have to learn another language in order to take full part in this new era of interconnectivity. Personally, I would like to learn at least one of the lesser known languages someday (all the smaller languages here are interesting in one way or another), but that probably won't happen for sometime.

Basque, Breton, Frisian, Galician, Kalmyk, Karelian, Sardinian and Welsh are specifically somewhat endangered (to one degree or another). I'm led to believe that most Kalmyk people do not know much of their language at all, and that is probably the first language that will die off of these languages. Breton is also in a tragic spot, seeing as most of its speakers are elderly. Basque and Welsh have younger speakers and an active community online, as I have seen, and are probbaly the most promising of the list.

Doh! If only I'd noticed that they were in alphabetical order! Also, did you forget to highlight Sardinia on the map?

It seems I'm expecting everyone to remember Sardinian, when I cannot even do the same! Thanks for catching that.

Da, missed Maltanese, I thought the flag was Monaco's. Didn't see the cross.
