I wrote Maltese as a joke because Malta came into my mind, didn't know it was an actual language

Well the UK is leaving the EU on 29 March 2019 according to Google. So does that mean that the EU quizzes have to change after that?

Seeing as the names in between parentheses are the names in the native language, I gather that Irish should be "Irish (gailge)" and not "Irish (gaelic)",

The description of the quiz is wrong. The languages included here are the ones having official status in the EU (as a whole) and not the languages having official status in EU countries as the description says. The latter includes all the answers of this quiz plus Luxembourgish (official in Luxembourg) and Turkish (official in Cyprus).

You really need to change the description to 'Official languages in the EU, not the EU countries.

That means that Letzebuergesch should be one, and other official languages of the country.

Luxembourgish is a national language in Luxembourg, which was a founding member of the EU. Any reason it isn’t included? I know it doesn’t technically have “official status,” but neither do German or French in Luxembourg, they’re administrative languages.

Luxembourgish is not official in the EU, but German and French are.

Could anyone explain why Maltese and Irish are official languages but not Luxembourgish? Come on, their status are almost the same

Level 49

It's because Luxembourg hasn't requested to have Luxembourgish as an official EU language.

Level 71

Shouldn't the quiz description be edited then? The language has official status in an EU country just like the description asks for, but not in the EU as a whole.

False, while Irish is the first official language, English is also official, hence why all government documents are produced in both Irish and English.
