notes:

- The stats are sorted by the number of users using the language on Wikipedia, not necessarily the languages with the most articles!

- The language must be official in order for it to register itself onto this list, unless if it is an official language in the region of a country (ie: Dutch -> Flanders).

- A defined source is not used, but populations and the list itself is generated based on populations from World Population Review (Wikipedia used as a backup source)

To do this, open up the quiz creator (Step 1). Do Control Shift I, then click one of the elements and do Control F, then find "Quiz title" and expand the element and right-click where it says "40" as maxlength and click "edit" after right clicking and change this number to "1000000".

Brilliant Quiz! Had fun taking this one! Out of all, one thing I spotted was that Gothenburg was Red, which was the color of Norwegian instead of Swedish.

I recommend dropping the Jerusalem/West Jerusalem distinction, or making them both key on "Jerusalem." As of now it's kind of a hose. I don't believe any formal entity called "West Jerusalem" exists anymore, it's just a region within Jerusalem.

Great quiz!

Since the UK and Norway are geographically adjacent, maybe use a dark orange for Norwegian? Darker than Polish.

You've misspelled Portuguese. Also, Timor-Leste/East Timor shouldn't be highlighted. Other than that, it's a good quiz. Bit surprised that there were no Malaysian cities, but I guess that makes sense given Indonesia's population.

If you accept Algeirs for French you should probably accept Cairo for English.

Great quiz but I think that if this is based on city proper (which I assume it is, considering cities such as Espoo, Yokohama, Drammen and Bien Hoa are here), then Rishon Lezion (hebrew) is bigger than Ashdod.

Great idea for the quiz, really liked it. I am not sure I would go with Mandarin for Chinese cities though. Mandarin is not native to Guangzhou, Shanghai and Xiamen. Maybe change it to Chinese instead? Or add other Chinese languages like Cantonese, Wu, or Hakka as separate entries to make it more interesting?

Also, for some reason Espoo and Helsinki appear both for Finnish and Swedish.

Yes because Swedish is also spoken kind of prominently in Finland.
