notes:

- The stats are sorted by the number of users using the language on Wikipedia, not necessarily the languages with the most articles!

- The language must be official in order for it to register itself onto this list, unless if it is an official language in the region of a country (ie: Dutch -> Flanders).

- A defined source is not used, but populations and the list itself is generated based on populations from World Population Review (Wikipedia used as a backup source)

That has to be the longest title on this site, but I really enjoyed the quiz, bit of a challenge Especially For finnish

Level 75

Oct 21, 2020

How did you avoid the character limit on the title?

Level 56

inspect element

To do this, open up the quiz creator (Step 1). Do Control Shift I, then click one of the elements and do Control F, then find "Quiz title" and expand the element and right-click where it says "40" as maxlength and click "edit" after right clicking and change this number to "1000000".

Level 75

Oct 21, 2020

Okay that's officially genius

Level 56

Oct 21, 2020

Did it work for you?

Level 75

Oct 21, 2020

Yeah. I don't have a purpose for it now, so I just left a quiz titled "Unlimited characters" on the Create / Edit Quiz page so we can use it sometime in the future when we need it

Level 56

Apr 17, 2021

I made the title a bit shorter

Level 66

Oct 21, 2020

Was the strikethrough in the first caveat intentional?

Level 63

Oct 21, 2020

You should change ''Hague'' to ''The Hague'' or accept it atleast. Btw I really enjoyed the quiz!

Level 85

Oct 21, 2020

I like it but you need to accept Gothenburg and Kanpur (no need for the "e" in English)

Level 56

Oct 21, 2020

Brilliant Quiz! Had fun taking this one! Out of all, one thing I spotted was that Gothenburg was Red, which was the color of Norwegian instead of Swedish.

Please change it to Kanpur. "Kanpure" makes me cringe so hard.

Level 56

Oct 22, 2020

It was accepted as a type-in, but this is now fixed.

Level 75

Oct 22, 2020

Please accept Plzen for Pilsen. Pilsen is German, whereas Plzen is the local name in Czech.

Why is Canada not coloured in

I recommend dropping the Jerusalem/West Jerusalem distinction, or making them both key on "Jerusalem." As of now it's kind of a hose. I don't believe any formal entity called "West Jerusalem" exists anymore, it's just a region within Jerusalem.

Level 56

Apr 16, 2022

Ok, I made it a gray cell

Level 82

Mar 4, 2022

Interesting spelling of Gothenberg.

Level 56

Fixed to show the correct spelling

Really enjoyed this quiz, thank you.

Level 84

Great quiz!

Since the UK and Norway are geographically adjacent, maybe use a dark orange for Norwegian? Darker than Polish.

Level 56

Apr 16, 2022

Great idea, done

"Norwegian" has a typo

You've misspelled Portuguese. Also, Timor-Leste/East Timor shouldn't be highlighted. Other than that, it's a good quiz. Bit surprised that there were no Malaysian cities, but I guess that makes sense given Indonesia's population.

Level 56

May 12, 2023

Fixed; thanks!

If you accept Algeirs for French you should probably accept Cairo for English.

Level 55

Dec 5, 2023

Great quiz but I think that if this is based on city proper (which I assume it is, considering cities such as Espoo, Yokohama, Drammen and Bien Hoa are here), then Rishon Lezion (hebrew) is bigger than Ashdod.
