When I type in Persian, Afghanistan isn't being accepted for some reason.

Fang is listed as the answer for Eritrea, but entering Fang only populates Equitorial Guinea. Also, entering Creole populates two of the three Creole answers, but not Mauritian Creole.

Great quiz. It might be worth extending to include the language most prevalent in each country, even if it is not a majority language.

Interesting - we have to enter the language to get the point, but the answer statistics list everything by country, which we do not get to type!

Sotho for Sesotho?

Fixed, but none of the other languages have official type-ins. This is a quiz that could use some improvements.

Could you accept Divehi and Chewa? Also, is Sammarinese really a language? In any case, San Marino is not visible on the map or in the table, so I didn't know which one I was missing

Fixed, and Italian will now work for 'Sanmarinese', which in any case is a small subset of the Romagnol dialects of Italian (don't know how that slipped in). I would like to give the quiz a big update in future--once I figure out what to do with it :P
