Match Major Indo-European Language with its Translation
Difficulty: hard.
Below is a map of several widely spoken languages which are part of the Indo-European language family. I have taken a complex sentence and translated it into 39 of those languages. Can you match each translation to its language on the map?
Not every highlighted language is clickable. Language varieties with high intelligbility have been reduced to decrease difficulty
Translated sentence: Tonight I want nothing more than to watch the moon and the stars with you.

Translations are by Google Translate, so there is some chance of mistakes in the translations. The French, Spanish, Hindi and Nepali translations seem correct to me, and so I hope that the rest are too.
I wanted to create a complex sentence as the comparison sentence, and I chose 'moon' and 'stars' because these words are less likely to have diverged and so there is a better chance of finding shared roots between languages (unlike a more abstract concept).
I also chose to highlight all languages regardless of them being answers or not. This probably makes the quiz even more difficult, so I would appreciate feedback on this decision. I removed the tolerance/margin of error on a lot of languages when you are clicking on the map, since otherwise you could hedge answers by clicking close to them (but not on them) until you found the right one.
Honestly I found it confusing that some yellow countries were unclickable, like Norway. I thought something was broken. (Yes, I didn't read the caveat). Maybe give ones that aren't part of the quiz a different shade. Or make them wrong answers to everything (I think you can with the "jp-fail" class?), though that would make the quiz tougher. I kept clicking Norway in different places when the answer was Denmark, and I think I should either fail the question for that, or understand that it isn't part of the quiz (without reading caveats... which people rarely do.)
That is valid, quiz information should be visual and not rely on caveats. I wasn't aware of the jp-fail class, I have added it to almost all unclickable yellow countries. Consider it tough love to the quiztakers. This quiz is definitely aimed a little towards language nerds so I am not too worried about raising the difficulty somewhat.
