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!

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.
