Still, I think the quiz should show the number of germanic langage speakers, not the whole population. There are about 6.7 millions of Flemish of German speakers in Belgium.
What about South Africa? No single language is spoken by over 50% of the population, and the most common is Zulu, however English and Afrikaans are both Germanic and together exceed Zulu by a narrow margin.
Evenso only the first attempt counts. On some quizzes the result are surprising, (rather high scores on stuff i ve never heard about) but this one is simple so a high score is to be expected.
and if on the 30th attempt you d still only get 12 right i think there might be some memory issue, no obscure answers here so the ones you missed the first time you could easily remember the 2nd try.
at the moment getting 12 right would mean you beat 49%
There is nothing weird about that. The quiz was quite easy, I was silly to forget canada, but other than that the only one I didnt guess was jamaica (maybe If I had more time, cause was allready thinking about, what is the biggest place where they speak english)
uhm i feel very satisfied that my immense talents were not challenged in the slightest manner since i am clearly superior to the Geo serfs who are embarrassing themselves here , needless to say i achieved 100 percent and feel quite special thank you
Jamaican here. It's the language of the nation. As with the UK and Australia, we too have variations of words we use in local dialect (slangs). Some parts of Jamaica have a more intense accent than others. We will purposefully speak in a more intense accent around eavesdropping foreigners just to keep them from understanding our conversations.
No it doesnt, they are two different terms. Which are NOT interchangeable. One refers to language and the other to region. And germans, belgians, the dutch and the english etc are Not nordic people. And finland is a nordic country but they do not speak a germanic language there.
Poland has fewer than 100 000 native German speakers. Most of the Germans either fled or were expelled from Poland during the last months of WW II and shortly afterwards.

And Luxembourg? 2012 statistics has 52% native Luxembourgish and 2% native German, plus an unknown percentage of English.
Also, shouldn't Ghana be on the list too? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghanaian_English
