I don't get it. Tons of other almost completely unknown languages are showing as 100% answered.

I'm guessing that if you get a country right, it gives you credit for each official/national language for that country, even the ones you didn't mention. Malawi's other official language is English so if you get that maybe you also get credit for Chewa.

There's a couple small things but otherwise the quiz is pretty good. If I were to recommend anything, I'd say to use Official Languages of the World as your source.

- Namibia doesn't have German as an official language.

- Tanzania, Kenya, Pakistan, and Malta have English as an official language.

- Hausa is not an official language in Nigeria.

- Arabic is not official in Israel or Senegal.

- Yoruba is not official in Benin.

- English is not official across the Kingdom of the Netherlands. I'd imagine it'd be similar to the status of Welsh in the UK or Catalan in Spain.

- Austria does not have Croatian or Hungarian as an official language.

- Slovak is not official in Czechia.

- Romani is not official in Serbia and Sweden.

- Jetpunk considers Dari and Tajik to be dialects of Persian. You can keep Farsi/Dari/Tajik as answers, but Persian should be allowed as a type-in.

- Jetpunk considers Hindi/Urdu/Fiji Hindi as dialects of Hindustani. Having Urdu is fine, but allow Hindustani as a type-in.

- Jetpunk considers Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian, and Montenegrin to be dialects of Serbo-Croatian.

- English is not an official language in Sri Lanka.

- Tonga is not official in Zambia.

- Finnish is not official in Sweden.

- Tigrinya, Oromo, Somali, and Afar are official languages in Ethiopia.

- Sotho, Northern Sotho, Southern Ndebele, Swazi, Tsonga, Tswana, Venda, and Xhosa are official languages in South Africa.

- (Mandarin) Chinese is official in Singapore.

- The names of Montenegro, the Netherlands, and the US deviate from Jetpunk standard.

- Gilbertese is an official language in Kiribati.

- French is no longer an official language in Mali. Out of their official languages, Bambara is dominant.

- "Iceland" is accepted for Icelandic when it probably shouldn't.

- Indonesian is a variety of Malay. "Indonesian" should still be a valid answer, but Malay should be an accepted type-in.

- Aymara and Quechua are official languages in Peru.

- Quechua isn't official in Ecuador.

- Berber is an official language in Morocco and Algeria. "Tamazight" for Algeria is fine, but Berber should be an accepted type-in.

- Hindi is an official language in India, not Tamil.

- While displaying Portuguese for Equatorial Guinea is technically correct, Spanish is the dominant language so that should probably be preferred.
