The Malay language and Indonesian language are similar, but also very different. The people there can understand each other at least 50% of the time. In Malaysia, the language is called Bahasa Malaysia (used to be Bahasa Melayu) and in Indonesia, its Bahasa Indonesia (surprise surprise).
i'm indonesian and indonesian and malay are not the same.There are so many ethnic groups in indonesian one of them is malay ans the malay has its own languange and they've been using it since 1000 A.D.
Same here. I don't understand the need for so little time. It turns it into a fast typing test rather than a test of knowledge. it would be difficult enough with more time. Bah.
Giving only 90 seconds to get all the countries by national languages makes this quiz fun and thrilling to take. Giving more time so that one can complete the quiz at a leisurely pace makes this quiz less fun.
You still need more time. Only 1% got the Maldives, so how many got all of them? About 10-15 more seconds would make it easier for the slow typers and people who make spelling mistakes. Sure, not having so much time makes it more fun, but it’s annoying when you finish with half a dozen countries left every time.
Interesting that four of those official languages (Canichana, Cayubaba, Guarasuawe and Puquina if you must know) are actually extinct! Weirder still, German doesn't have official status, despite being spoken by 160,000 people.
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".
I think the only option is tamil/sinhala because the first 51 are unique in some country and you are then left with parts of exJugoslavia and Sri Lanka
There is no such thing as Montenegrin language. It is same lake Serbian. The best solution is Sebo-Croatian (Serbian or Croatian) for Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Montenegro.
Great quiz! While I assume that this comes from your source, there is no language called "Maldivian." It's called Dhivehi. That said, typing Dhivehi works, so this doesn't even constitute a complaint.
Maldivian is a language according to the Oxford Dictionary of English—a definition is: the Indic language spoken in the Maldives, related to Sinhalese.
Cool quiz, but a little more time would be great! I would like to take a closer look to the map while thinking of the languages spoken in each country... unfortunatelly, with 90 secs it is impossible to think
please give more time. this is just a speed typing test. those of us with hand injuries need an extension, along with many others with dexterity issues. thanks!
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
Official languages of Wales are English and Welsh. In this quiz it is not needed to enter every language spoken in a country otherwise PNG would need 6,912 separate entries.
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.)
I did it with 2 seconds to spare. I also did it while recognizing all legitimate ex-Yugo languages (eg Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian, Montenegrin plus Slovenian, Macedonian and Albanian).
if you have the top six languages spoken worldwide/the official UN languages entered in first, it's pretty easy. Hard part is the time to type all the one-country-only languages that consist of basically the entire country name with "ese" or "ian" added in.
why not unite serbian, bosnian, croatian and montenegrin as serbo-croatian? everyone knows it's basically the same language, even if they say it isn't. you've already done that for kosovo.
You should include Basque, Catalan, Galician and Occitan for Spain because they're co-official languages (and I wouldn't have to type in Catalan just for Andorra)
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). If you were to include such regional languages of Spain, then you would have to include a huge amount of other langauge from around the world - it would become too unwieldy.
What language was South Africa counted under? I tried Afrikaans and it didn't accept it, so it must have been counted under either English or Dutch. If Dutch, it would be incorrect as Afrikaans, while a derivative of the Dutch language, is a language in its own right.
You can just check yourself. Afrikaans is accepted, dutch isnt, several other languages are aswell including english. Simply look at the results, it is near the top.
Not a fan of short timed quizzes, no point at all. As for memory recall speed, they're useless because the brain is way ahead of finger lag and computer lag, typos, all that irrelevance. It's better to click "Take untimed" and really quiz your knowledge and learn instead of rattling off by rote like Rain Man.
I finally did it! It's taken me about three days to get 160 and finally, I got there. This quiz was more about how much you can type in 1:30 instead of the language itself. Other then that, it was hard.
Why are Urdu and Hindi listed as Hindustani? Urdu is written in Arabic script and Hindi in Devanagri script. This is a direct insult to Pakistan and Urdu, because the whole point of freedom was to be separated from Hindus and Hindustan. Plz elaborate if i'm wrong. Thanks.
I know right? I keep getting like 96% of the languages, but then the time runs out. I'm not a slow typer, I just make a lot of mistakes when going full speed.
Because they don't have an official language. Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Chile, Eritrea, Mexico, and the Netherlands should also be grayed out.
According to the Languages of the World Quiz, Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Chile, Eritrea, Mexico, Netherlands also don't have an official language. It would be nice if the quizzes agreed with each other.
''accents of English'' big oof Hell no! Welsh and Irish are from an entire different branch of the indo-european language family, the Celtic languages.
''Genir pawb yn rhydd ac yn gydradd â'i gilydd mewn urddas a hawliau. Fe'u cynysgaeddir â rheswm a chydwybod, a dylai pawb ymddwyn y naill at y llall mewn ysbryd cymodlon.''
Ex:1. In Indonesian Apa means what
In Malay Apa means what,too but they read it like a-pe
2.Few words have no the same meaning
like :dullness(kesuraman) is kecemasan in Malaysia
3.Malay languange have been assimilating with english (pedestrian etc)

The official language in Montenegro shall be Montenegrin. Cyrillic and Latin alphabet shall be equal.
Serbian, Bosniac, Albanian and Croatian shall also be in the official use
https://wipolex.wipo.int/en/text/187544
So Serbian, Bosnia(n/c), Albanian and Croatian shall also fill out Montenegro, just like how Swedish works for Finland.
Like Romanian = Moldovan.
I like this quiz but the time is too limited
English, Arabic, French, Portuguese, Spanish, German, Russian, Chinese, Swedish, Korean, Greek, Malay, Thai, Persian, Mongolian, Vietnamese, Ukrainian, Khmer, Lao, Italian, Polish, Danish, Dutch, Norwegian, Icelandic, Romanian, Bosnian, Albanian, Czech, Estonian, Latvian, Croatian, Hungarian, Bulgarian, Lithuanian, Burmese, Nepali, Slovak, Bengali, Uzbek, Tamil, Azerbaijani, Macedonian, Montenegrin, Slovene, Tswana, Catalan, Dzongkha and lastly Maldivian.
Irish and Welsh are accents of English i think

Does this seem like an English accent to you? ^^
