This quiz is missing Gagauz, Crimean Tatar (separate from Volga Tatar), Svan, Udmurt, Bashkir, Karelian, several other Uralic languages, and several other Caucasian languages, also:

- Ugric languages are still Uralic

- There isn't one Sami language, rather there are a variety of different Sami languages
