But maybe you could be more tolerant to incorrect Endings like for example {Etruscian, Etruscic} for Etruscan. They are mostly extinct languages with a less standardized Names, which can make it unnecessarily difficult even for Persons who know their Stuff. Also you could accept Aquitanian for Vasconic.

But otherwise I love your Quiz in both Idea and Execution.

And of course I nominated it.

Thanks! I'll be more lenient on the suffixes for the languages then.

Got 20... feel like I should have gotten a few more, though, after seeing the answers.

I see some comments above referencing Nabatean and Etruscan but didn't see those on the quiz even though I guessed them.... was the quiz shrunk or simplified?

It was corrected. Mainly because the older version included several languages that were (long) extinct by this time period.

Great quiz as always.

It's these quizzes that particularly deserve the spotlight in my opinion — they're super well-made, but also rather niche.

Thanks! These quizzes that take so much time to do research on, mainly due to the fact that information about historical languages can be very scarce and approximate dates of language death can be very misleading. Later versions of this quiz had certain languages both removed and added due to mistakes I made before.

Okay, and? This is literally based off estimates, pal. Dumb comment.
