Languages with the Most Grammatical Cases

Cases are used in some languages to show relations between words in a sentence. The english language for example has 3 cases for personal pronouns, which is why we say "I see them" and not "I see they". Can you name the languages, which features the highest number of cases?
Only languages that are an official language in at least one country are included! (Including de facto official languages for countries without an official language) According to this quiz.
When the number of cases are uncertain, the lower number has been chosen.

Nice quiz idea! Though ultimately it's difficult to give an absolute number of cases for a given language: often it's not a clear impartial concept, but will depend on how classification works in the traditional grammar o each language. For instance, there is an equivalent structure in Finnish and Estonian for the commitative ("with") case, but Estonian treats it as a separate case whereas Finnish trats it as a postposition. In Armenian, the traditional number of cases is higher than the effective number of distinct noun forms, etc.
