You should accept Nepalese for Nepali. Missed that one because of this. I think I also misspelled Yoruba but don't know how. Yaroba or Yaruba maybe.

Telugu was one of my first guesses. Unfortunately I always misspell it as "Telegu" without realizing it. Sigh...

Considering that Indonesian is a standardised version of Malay, should it be put under I?

Interesting quiz. From those I've missed, I've never heard of T and O. It's weird to see languages with almost as many speakers as Germany's population (for T) which I didn't even know existed.

Weird that Oromo, a language spoken by a third of Ethiopia, is missing from the Ethnologue list. It's close to Odiya in terms of speakers (it might even beat it), but for some reason it's not on the article!

There are more than 80 million Turkish speakers worldwide according to 2021 estimates. Should knock Telugu or other Star Trek languages off the list.

Telugu has 82. And what else do you consider a Star Trek language?

I can't even describe how stupid I'm feeling right now.

Did I miss Arabic? No.

Did I miss Spanish? No.

I. Just. Missed. English.
