Source? What counts as a language on this list? Some of these are considered dead. Why not include Akkadian?

If they were a language that was not on this list that I added, I used other sources for them. Again, Akkadian is an extinct language. Every language included in the quiz has at least a small amount of speakers today.

No language included on the quiz is extinct, there are just a very small amount of speakers in the world.
