On the last one I think you mean "Janavese | Wu | Min | Nan | Sundanese | Hakka | Xiang"

5 stars and nominated

Fixed Sundanese, but Min Nan is one language

Persian does not use the cyrillic alphabet, that's Tajik language

Slovene should be accepted as a Slavic language.

Frisian is an official language in the Netherlands and is the closest language to English. Wouldn't Cantonese be included in the last category?

Level 72

Frisian is official in Friesland, but not the rest of the Netherlands.

As for Cantonese, it appears to have an official status in Hong Kong and Macau, so it still applies for that question.

I don't know about this elinguistics.net page. But shouldn't be German in that list as both English and German are West Germanic languages?

Level 75

I'm not too familiar with the German-English connection, but I've seen it claimed that German has enough grammatical differences from English to be harder to learn for English-speakers than other Germanic and even some Romance languages. (I'm not sure why Luxembourgish is present though. I thought it was just a different standardization of German?)

Unlike with species, there is never a point in language divergence where two languages become "unable" to influence each other, creole languages and the Balkan sprachbund providing good examples. The "genealogy" of languages is a cool topic, but there's a lot that goes into what makes languages similar or different and not all of it falls under common ancestory.

Level 51

Mar 18, 2022

Genuinely tried Esperanto, Klingon, and Elvish for the last one.

Level 81

Mar 19, 2022

If you accept that Tagalog and Filipino are different languages (they're clearly not, but officially I think they are), then wouldn't Tagalog be an answer in the last category?

Level 76

Neither Kazakh nor Tajik use Cyrillic only, you might want to remove them. Cool quiz either way!

Level 66

Dec 30, 2022

Great quiz, does the last question mean it can't be official in any subdivision at all?

Level 54

Jun 13, 2024

esperanto was proposed to the UN as an official language. everybody voted for it except for Gabriel Hanotaux who used his veto right to deny the proposal

Level 85
