Thanks! I've accepted dvye. Chetiri/chyetiri aren't correct, I'm afraid. In Russian it's spelled четыре, where ы is transliterated as y (the Latin alphabet doesn't have a better match) and е as e/ye. Y (ы) sounds like i to an untrained ear, but can be distinguished by a fluent speaker. Unstressed e and i sound alike in Russian, but one needs to remember the spelling.
P.S. I know this because I have heard a lot of Russian, I live in a town where 20% speak Russian natively. Wikipedia confirms all this as well.
It uses both. The only difference between Bokmål and Nynorsk in the numbers 1 to 10 is the word for 1. Bokmål uses "ett" and Nynorsk uses "eitt". To be neutral, I accept both.
What an awesome quiz! :) I consider myself to be fairly knowledgeable about European languages, and still I could finish only 15 languages fully (it finally paid off to have studied Slavic languages!). I didn't know any in Maltese, Romanian, Greek, Albanian, Irish, Turkish or Tatar, but I got a few in most of those columns by guessing. That doesn't really count as knowing, though. Tänan!
When counting in Greek we usually say "ena" (neuter form) and not "enas" (masculine form). Epta should also be an acceptable answer for the Greek seven.
I picked the languages based on the number of native speakers in Europe, so Latin didn't qualify. Admittedly, Latin has been an important language in European history but I wouldn't want to change the quiz any more.
Awesome quiz I got 122 which is 37% which beats 77%. But I must admit I got a lot by guessing. For instance if I knew dvo and dvi excisted, id try the other vowels aswell. Plus sometimes a word showed up which I had typed differently then I typed it as it was shown and sometimes two were shown and I typed the other one. It might not really be Knowing the words, but still it is a puzzle to solve and I thought that was rather inventive ;) worked a lot of times.
It would be nice if as on your colour quiz, when the results show up the ones you didnt get are filled in with read on the grid. On the other hand, this layout felt better, turkish and tartan next to the germanic languages looked very weird.
not that maltese belongs with germanic but it looks a lot better :) I think I would (ve) do(ne) it as follows: germanic, romance, then either uralic and greek/albanian/irish+maltese, or slavic+turkish/tatar.
basicly paring redwith brown and grey with purple and darkblue.
btw beforehand I never realised estonian was so similar to finnish and hungarian. I knew finnish and hungarian were closely related, an interesting fact that most people dont seem to know (outside quizsites... I havent met anyone in real life that knew how close hungarian and finnish were. In fact I think most people even think finnish is similar to swedish etc) I knew there were other uralic languages, but never thought much about what and where they were. Basicly usually only had finnish and hungarian in mind.
This was always one of my favorite quizzes to do in my free time or when I was procrastinating homework, looking forward to seeing it on the front page!

Puzzled me that 3% found it despite the typo anyway

It is nice to learn new stuff :)
it is wrong for the number (and a feminine sentence) ("one, two, three,.." is "eins, zwei, drei,.. and "one wall" is "eine Wand").
