Great quiz! I kept overthinking some of my choices, especially in the case of Tagalog and Uzbek. I thought that they might be a mixture of several language families with the unexpected one being the root one, kind of like Romanian.

To my knowledge, no such thing as a language being a mixture of several language families, as language family is about the origin of the language and not its' features and there can only be one proto language branch it has descended from.

I also find it amusing how ROMANian language is unexpectedly coming from the ROMANce language family. Where did you think it had got its name from? ;)

Idk if it's what OP was referring to but creoles are an interesting case, they're often considered to be structurally one language but lexified by another although the boundaries might be more blurred than that.

All languages that are in contact with each other will borrow words and other linguistic features. Though that doesn't make them of a different family. Romanian has lots of slavic influence, but it's still a romance language. English has tons of loanwords from greek, latin, french, etc. But its structure is still germanic.

Umm... I don't think so. But there is a case for it being Dravidian.

Good quiz overall, but a few complaints:

1. Indo-European is split into subfamilies, but the other language families aren't. This is obviously Eurocentric bias, but it's understandable given many Indo-European languages are, well, European, making that easy to guess. That being said,

2. Indo-Iranian should be split into Iranic and Indo-Aryan. Indo-Iranian is at a branch level equivalent to Balto-Slavic or Italic, and given that Slavic and Romance are put down instead of the previous two.

3. There are no Native American language families. This is a major problem with the quiz, and furthers the sense of Eurocentrism that I highlighted in my first point. There are a large number of relatively well-known Native American languages, especially within the Algic(Examples include Cree, Mohican, and Cheyenne) and Na-Dené(examples include Chipewyan and Navajo) language families. They are not official languages, but they are well-known nonetheless.

Anyways, that's all. Still enjoyed the quiz.

Thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoyed it!

My aim in the languages/families I chose to include was:

1. To have a spread of well-known and a few harder ones (bearing in mind that not everyone is a linguistic genius)

2. A good geographical spread (I have admittedly missed most of Africa because they are less well-known).

3. Including as many of the major languages as possible (Arabic probably being the most eye-catching exclusion).

I guess to answer your second point I could change it to Indo-Aryan and switch Persian for Urdu. Also, to my knowledge, the only extant Italic languages are romance languages so I don't see the point in specifying that.

As for your first and third points, I agree that it is Eurocentric, but as you highlighted, this is because it includes the most famous and widely-spoken languages. I personally (from Australia) have only really heard of two or three native American languages and would only be able to place them by process of elimination...

All in all, I would probably be more likely to add Dravidian, Celtic, Afroasiatic, or Niger-Congo.

Thanks again for your comment and for playing the quiz!

The problem with this is that Austronesian, Sino-Tibetan and Turkic really are language families. The other four are all branches of the same language family - Indo-European - so not quite in the same category.

Yes, I'm aware and thought about adding a caveat. It just doesn't make as much sense to have Indo-European otherwise it would make up more than half of the answers. And all of the branches here are well-known categories anyway, so it's obvious what to answer. The title would be a little clunky if it included these minor details.
