This is a really fun idea, but it might need some polish. I got all but two, but what you've included seems a bit random. Most of the countries felt fair, but the regions did not. There are quite a few countries that probably could be included. Ethiopian, for instance. My two cents, for what they're worth, says this would be really good and maybe even featurable if you went with the top twenty based on countries and population, or gave continent clues or something. For the record, I guessed Colombian, Peruvian, Chilean, Algerian, Congolese, Nigerian, Indonesian... etc. :)
That's a good idea. Thanks for the feedback! I think I'll do that. I just recently started making quizzes. Do you want me to mention you in the caveat?
No problem. I realized polish could be read Polish afterwards but didn't intend the pun. No need to give me credit, but thanks for the mention. I took the quiz again and I enjoyed it; such a neat premise. :)
Why are you including Bangladeshi but not Spanish? Bengali is an official language, and it matches the name of the country? Spanish isn't spelled "Spainish," so if you're going to be pedantic about spelling, at least be consistent. I also think including British goes against the spirit of the quiz since England is a country within a country.
Where can you see "Spainish"? I can't see it in the quiz.
Bangladeshi is not the same as Bengali at all. Bengali is the official (and predominant) language of Bangladesh, which is a multilingual country. Bangladeshi language, on the other hand, does not exist. Neither does British or any of the others of course. Look at the name of the quiz again. :)
And they can't have added Spanish, because it does exist. :)
No, I understand their point. I didn't know how close Bangladesh was and I was waiting for someone else's opinion. I'll take out Bangladeshi, but as for British, England is not considered a country by Jetpunk, and I did add in type-ins for variations of United Kingdom if anyone were to go that far.
Fun quiz. Interesting that most of the countries with a big population either have some language diversity or use a language coming from another country (colonial history).
IMHO Bengali for Bangladesh is close enough to take it out from this quiz, but I can see that this is a tricky case.
Great quiz with a really fun premise! Though you might want to add a caveate that languages that do not exactly match the national demonym don't count, as there is Luganda in Uganda. Just a thought.
Originally the quiz idea had something like that but then it was just random regions that I picked. Dimby suggested I do some sort of top 20 countries or something so I did that.
I would argue that South Korean shouldn't be on here when Korean is a language. It's far too similar and it is clearly named after the country (it and North Korea).
Also I feel South African probably shouldn't be here with Afrikaans.
Step 1: Find demonyms for ~ top 40 countries
Step 2: Search those on Wikipedia - disambiguation page if there is one
Step 3: If the disambiguation page refers to a language that is not a dialect, then it is off the list
I took the top 20 countries that passed the test.
A couple that didn't make it: Burmese is demonym for Myanmar, Afghani refers to Pashto, Bangladeshi refers to Bengali
Again, constructive criticism is welcome.

The second caveat would be better in the description. You can do new lines in the description by writing < br > without the spaces.
