They're largely Mennonite, Jerry, and of relatively late arrival. This isn't to say that this ought to disqualify German as an official language, but I don't know a lot of places where immigrant groups not from the dominant colonizing society get that sort of official national recognition.

It was mainly a populist strategy. The 36 languages was supported by the notion that there are 36 indigenous nations in Bolivia, thus dividing the opposition cities (on the east) where there are many more "nations".

Azerbaijani is Turkic language like Turkish, Kazakh, Uzbek and so on. Azerbaijani is the second most spoken language(more than 50 million native speakers) in Turkic family but, I would say it is the richest and the most intelligible language which means only learning Azerbaijani will help you to understand not only Turkish but also Central Asian languages

In Wales the official languages are English and Welsh, but as a whole the UK does not have any official language. The UK should appear at the start because it has no official language throughout. The situation is much the same in the USA - Hawaii has English and Hawaiian as official languages but there is no nationwide official language. If the USA is given at the start the UK should be too. Source - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_official_languages_by_country_and_territory#U . I know that Wikipedia might not be accurate so if you do have a source I would be interested to see it.

Yes - English is only de-facto (by practice) official as the UK's main language, not de-jure (by law) offical. (Welsh is de-jure official in Wales, making it the only language in the UK to have de-jure/legal official status, though that only applies in Wales - in the rest of the UK, Welsh is recognised regional language.)

They are only co-official at the regional level, not at the national level (i.e. at the sovereign state level, which this website deals with).
