Maybe allow "Circassian" as an alternative for "Adyge". I got it, but I almost passed over it after putting in "Circassian" first.

Yeah, you are right, I will add it as an alternative both to Adyge and Kabardian, thanks

Could use more clarification. I'm pretty sure Latin for example has more than 1000 L2 speakers. The quiz doesn't mention anywhere it has to have 1000 native speakers, just speakers. And perhaps it counts L2 speakers of some sort in some cases, I'm pretty sure English doesn't have 700 million native speakers.
+3
Level 64
Jul 30, 2021
Yes, many of these make the list only with L2 numbers, not L1 numbers.
+2
Level 99
Aug 4, 2021
And if we're including L2 speakers, there are a lot of languages which are not on this list an most certainly should be. (Chinese, Urdu, Persian, etc...)
+8
Level 76
Jun 10, 2022
Yes, but these aren't European languages. It doesn't matter if many Europeans speak Chinese or Urdu as L2. They didn't originate in Europe nor are they spoken natively within the borders of Europe.

If you're going to separate dialects, then Serbo-Croatian should be separated into its four standard varieties, in my opinion: Bosnian, Croatian, Montenegrin, and Serbian.

Im sure this will go easily and without any ethnic cleansing, just like in the real world :D

I'm pretty sure that Khanty and Selkup are not European languages because their speakers live behind the Ural mountains in Asia.

I like the concept a lot, but you could use some cleaner delineation as to what counts as a dialect, at least for ones that don't get accepted type-ins for more common languages.

For example, Ripuarian isn't accepted when typing German or Franconian, and also isn't accepted when typing any of its sub-dialects, like Kölsch/Colognian. It's hard to guess exactly which level of dialect is the one you are looking for.

When you've delineated something into a few dialects, but accept them all as answers given the most known one, I have basically no problem with that. Others may disagree, but I'm usually of the opinion that "the more type-ins, the better".

If you're separating dialects then Viennese, Styrian and Bavarian should be here.

Westrobothnian is not a language, and if you are going to accept swedish dialects as languges, you should at least also accept ostrobothnian, seeing as it is a lot more different from "regular" swedish than westrobothnian is.

So I'm not extremely familiar with European languages, there being so many, so I'm sure some "clean up" is needed. But LOVE the concept of this quiz. Very fun to take.

1000 is not a lot of speakers. I'm not sure what you mean by "cleanup".

Europe is a purely geographic term. It has no connection to culture.
