Great quiz! These languages tend to be pretty unknown despite their huge community so I'm glad there's quiz for them.

Kurdish is the first one I guessed, with around 20 million speakers. But not on the source, maybe.

Also isn't Tagalog technically here since the official language of the Philippines is "Filipino" not Tagalog, even though realistically they're the same language.
