Yep. At the time, a Greco-Bactrian Kingdom was a thing due to the expansion of Alexander the Great's empire. Later there would also be an Indo-Greek Kingdom that expanded all the way to southwestern Nepal.

Huh, I wasn't even aware of this being the case. Thanks for letting me know though, I'll try to have this looked into.

I think Wusun would be better put under Iranian? That seems to be more generally accepted than under Indo-Aryan

Seems to be disputed. Moved it to the "Unclassified" section.

Was surprised Etruscan is missing, but then remembered it's not Indo-European. Great quiz!

Why isn't Sogdian included?

Dates tend to differ quite a bit for when it was first spoken, but since there is no evidence for an older form of the language, Sogdian likely only became a distinct language by around 100 BC.

I think Ashokan prakit was spoken in this time as well. Wikipedia says its era was 268-232 BC.

Mabye Im just too dumb to find it, but could you make a similar quiz with a map but of the modern distribution? Only find ones without map for the modern era

I probably could, but this would take an enormous amount of time to put together. I'm currently working on multiple larger projects too so I don't think I'm gonna be able to do this one at least for now.

Faliscan should be located north of Latin, on the border between Latin and Etruscan. Not on the border between Latin and Oscan.
