Curious about the answer to "most languages spoken". What's the criteria? Because I have to imagine there are more unique languages spoken in "melting pot" countries like the USA.
How about India? It has a lot of native languages. About how many people need to speak a language for it to be counted as a language for a language quiz?
The United States is actually fairly unique in that aspect. It is a massive country with cultures from all around the world. While countries in Africa and Southern Asia have a large number of languages due geographic isolation and the presence of tribal society, the number of languages in the United States is due to the immigrant presence in the United States.
The comment said "in 'melting pot' countries *like* the USA," as in "here's one example of a larger group." I swear, some of you people are pathological. You see any comment, however innocuous, that kinda sorta compliments the US, and you need to drop in to remind everyone that, in fact, other countries are better. Yeesh.
Yep. Non-Americans especially on this site have a really strange (almost seems insecure to me in a way) complex when it comes anything American...even though they're on an American site lol. Every quiz is "too Ameri-centric", US is a 3rd world cess-pool, all Americans are stupid and arrogant, and if you say ANYTHING good about the US even in passing, you simply must be corrected and reminded that USA is the most horrific country ever to exist.
Oh, and if you refer to the US as "America", at least 10 morons will pedantically inform you that you are just a stupid, ignorant American. Because apparently Americans are the only ones to call the US "America" colloquially.
Look, we all know the US has huge issues, but the people on here are so hair-trigger and over the top. It's all so transparent and sort of pathetic imo.
Can you really not be bothered to type two more letters. Is this really how lazy we are now? It’s not like you’d even do it on a timed quiz. It probably takes .01 seconds to write the extra -ia. Fair enough for KSA for Saudi Arabia or NZ for New Zealand but that is straight up lazy!
Look up the list of the most diverse countries and these are usually in Africa in fact.

It clearly says "different vowels" ;)
U I E A O
seems to take forever and so many vowels that can go in the wrong place ;).
Obviously I am exaggerating a bit, but it ís the only one which I wish was shorter/had an abbreviation
(And yes that is including the ones that are longer, they just flow better, I never use png, always type
papua new guinea btw)
MIght I suggest Sa-Ar as an abbreviation? :) Or S-Ar(a)
