Guess the European Language Map Quiz

That's honestly really impressive. I wouldn't feel bad about confusing Bulgarian and Macedonian, I've heard that they are sometimes considered to be the same language, although Jetpunk generally distinguishes them.

That is impressive, I made the quiz and I still cannot get them all! Every time I try, the game goes well until I make a mistake with the Slavic languages and then the game falls apart. Good work :)

I want people to look at the words and figure the language out through similarities, root words, etc. For example, if you look at the East Slavic languages they all look quite similar, and a keen observer can group them together, even without knowing much about said languages. Most Jetpunk users cannot read Cyrillic, so they lose out on that process if I put Russian, Macedonian or Ukrainian in Cyrillic. I have an Asian version of this quiz (albeit unreleased) where all scripts are Romanised too, because when you have too many non-Latin scripts it becomes a game about guessing writing systems and not languages.

Yes unfortunately I had to rely on random text from Wikipedia articles in said languages as my example, since machine translation is lacking. Thanks for playing!

For now I've limited the quiz to official languages, but it would be fun to include Basque and some others in a future quiz. I struggle a lot with the West/South Slavic languages too.

Thanks for the nomination, and special thanks to whomever chose to spotlight this quiz! (I really appreciate it).

Now that's an obscure part of Wikipedia!

It is almost certainly. Google Translate is horrific at just about any language not closely related to English and sadly I do not have a friend from each of these languages to provide more accurate translations :(

Thank you! I almost finished an Asian version but I left it unsubmitted. Part of the problem was the Arabic script is not transliterated on most of the languages that use it on Google Translate. This was two years ago, and I can now read the Arabic script so I should be able to finish it :)

An Indian version would be great too! It would have a more niche appeal but I believe it is a great idea.

Thank you! I feel your pain, the first mistake is always the most painful after you've already finished the non-Slavic part of Europe :'(

Thank you! I tried to keep the language borders as simple and close to national borders as possible, Belarus has a more complex language distribution as the urban regions are more Russian and the rural areas more Belarusian.

You're right. Google Translate doesn't provide services in Romansh :( so I had to resort to Wikipedia.
