Evil aliens have decided to kill everyone in Europe! Fortunately, they've given you 45 seconds to save as many as you can. All you have to do is name a country to save everyone in it.
1) The percentages you use are for all ages and all speakers (native+learned)
2) The absolute numbers don`t match with the percentages. The EU has 512.000.000 inhabitants. Thus, 33% are roughly 169.000.000, 22,4% are 115.000.000 and so on. For Polish, it would be nearly 44.000.000 speakers.
Great quiz! I'm surprised languages like Arabic are nowhere to be found. Or even some regional languages. I bet if Low German had been considered a different language, it would be on here.
To be honest I don't think it would make it on the list as the language has been on the decline for ages and almost all speakers of Low German/Saxon dialect would also be included in the statistics for German and Dutch respectively as these are the languages of administration and education. The numbers on the wikipedia page mention something like 300,000 native speakers only
