Maybe because it has not been used in france for official documents since 1539? It has to have official status in the entire country, not just locally.

It is and it is actually the only official de jure language in the UK (English is only de facto). But jetpunk goes by sovereign states which Wales is not. And Welsh is only official in Wales and not the entirety of the UK.

Sign language is an umbrella term of a group of languages, but they are not universal and definitely not mutually intelligible. Each of these languages have their own names.

The american one is ASL (American Sign Language), the french one is LSF, the brazilian one is Libras, and so forth.

If you type in New Zealand Sign Language the quiz will allow it because that's the actual name of the one from NZ.

Wow, so many comments saying “why not this language or that language?” Does no one look it up and see if it is an official language, before commenting? Because they’re wrong in almost every instance… you’re already on the internet, maybe have a little peek at Wikipedia first?

Why did I get K from typing in Rwanda?
thread

Level 67
Dec 30, 2022
Atlantic-Congo languages of Africa like Kinyarwanda, Rwanda's official language use noun classes - which are used in many Indo-European languages and called grammatical gender - to represent different forms of things like countries. Countries like Rwanda can have prefixes to make it a "class" such as person of the country or a language of the country, so Kinya- is a prefix on Rwanda to make it it's language, which is probably why Rwanda is accepted.

I'd also like it if more native languages were promoted but keeping >500 languages' speakers satisfied with their language's place is also bizarre so colonial languages are still common in former colonies.

Neither Dhivehi nor Maldivian, the two terms for the official language of the Maldives, are accepted. At least one should be an answer, and the language is definitely the official language:

No comma should be present at the end of E, there are only two answers. Both Divehi and Maldivian are missing (different names for the same official language of the Maldives). Oromo is official in Ethiopia since 2020.

Others have mentioned it before, but Oromo (Ethiopia) is a potential answer for O.

Technically you can also have Weenhayek & Yaminawa/Yuki/Yuracaré due to Bolivia, so you should add a caveat excluding them. Something like "Only the 3 most prominent languages of Bolivia are considered"?
