Brazil also has the biggest Japanese population in the world outside of Japan. I wonder how many more nationalities have this property for Brazil.

Great quiz. Requires some other knowledge beyond mere geography, a bit of politics and history thrown in. Excellent

I was really surprised it wasn't Canada, due to Quebec. African countries usually don't have a lot of native French speakers as the various Bantu and/or Niger-Congo languages typically stand strong with "colonial" languages mostly used for communication between different ethnic groups. The answer seems to check out though, French apparently having gained a lot of native speakers in major cities like Kinshasa.

100%, but I really doubt that data of Brazil being the second country with most Italian speakers. Although there is an enormous Italian Brazilian community, they're not native speakers of Italian, Portuguese is their mother tongue, just like Italian Americans of second, third and fourth generation are native speakers of English. If I would guess the number of native speakers of Italian in Brazil, I'd say circa 5.000 people (almost every first generation Italian Brazilians are dead), less than San Marino population.

I agree that Brazil does not make much sense. If I were to take a guess the source for the quiz is the Wikipedia article for "Geographical distribution of Italian speakers", which puts the number of Italian native speaker in Brazil at an insane 4 millions. The article states that the number comes from an estimate by Ethnologue, but the linked Ethnologue page actually puts the number of Italian speakers in Brazil at around 50k, which seems much more reasonable.

Also, on the "Languages of Brazil" wiki article there is no direct number of current Italian speakers, but you can find a handy link to a 1940 official census that records the number of native Italian speakers at just over 450k ("the number of people who speak Italian at home" to be precise). Considering the population in Brazil grew by about five times in the last 80 years, even if the % of Italian speakers stayed the same (which is unlikely to say the least) the current number of speakers would be around 2 million

that makes sense but is it based on their first language or second language because most people in India have Hindi or another Indian language as their main?
