Nice quiz :)

I still think Chinese should be accepted for Mandarin.

Also outer space shouldn't have an article

"Farsi" works for Persian, even though it was given in the clue.

I always mix up (the letters of) aramaic, amharic, and make up aramese (in dutch aramaic is aramees which usualy would mean that it is aramese in english) and well armenian always shows up too "is it me you are looking for?" "no definitely something else.." (armeens in dutch)

Luckily no armada and armani haha

On this quiz I managed to get amharic (only just, because I tried amaric first...) and not aramaic.

Interestingly only just 1 or 2 days ago I mentioned aramaic to my mother ( made a mess of it ofcourse, it was like "something like that"haha) believe I mentioned ethiopia too btw.

When my father saw a picture of the Humuhumunukunukuapua'a in my high school biology textbook his response was to sing "I want to go back to my little grass shack."

It mentions official language of any country as a whole; subdivisions don't count in this case

I could be wrong but isn't Spanish also an official language in Paraguay alongside Guarani?

This clue confused me momentarily because I’m thinking “there’s a currency called the Spanish?” lol. I think ‘one of the official languages of Paraguay…’ would work better.
