I think Norwegian is considered part of west scandinavian, not east scandinavian
+2
Level 67
Jun 7, 2023
On Ethnologue, it's considered East Scandinavian. https://www.ethnologue.com/subgroup/1031/

It's probably because Icelandic and Faroese are spoken much further west than the rest of the North Germanic languages, so they probably split the groups based on that isolation and the linguistic differences that arose from that.

Could you add Vilamovian as a type-in for Wymysorys and Saterland frisian for Saterfriesisch?

Also, could you add Kursenieki, or is that too close to latvian?

+1
Level 67
Sep 16, 2023
I've added the type-ins. Also, the languages I used were the ones listed on Ethnologue, and Kersenieki is not listed. It's also not even listed under glottolog as a dialect, but it might be under a different name.

UPDATE:

This quiz now uses the Glottolog classification, and there are some things that need specifying:

1. Colors:

Languages marked in red have no native speakers

Blue are creoles

Purple fits both criteria

2. Creoles:

Creoles are only included IF it is a mix between ONLY Indo-European languages. For example, Bislama is NOT included because it is a mix of English and a NON-IE language (in this case, Oceanic languages), but a Hindi-English creole would be included because they are both IE.

3. Classification:

Some groups have been split to show more detail.These are:

a. Indo-Iranian into Nuristani, Indo-Aryan and Iranian

b. Central Iranian into Adharic, Balochic, Caspian,

Kermanic, Komisenian, Kurdish, and an isolate

c. Middle-Modern Indo-Aryan into Dhivehi Sinhala, E.

Dardic and Continental Indo-Aryan, and

d. Continental Indo-Aryan into the Eastern, Northwest, and

Southern zones and Midlands Indo-Aryan

4. South Lucanian isn't included because I can't confirm it's existance.
