Ugh I forgot irish, did get malta though.. and I knew/tried the others I missed but apparently wrote them wrong. I know the countries in english, but to turn those words into the names of the language isnt allways as easy (especially since it isnt consistant , some are -ish others are -ian etc) Wasted time on norway tried norwegian norse nordic....

Seeing as the names in between parentheses are the names in the native language, I gather that Irish should be "Irish (gailge)" and not "Irish (gaelic)",

The description of the quiz is wrong. The languages included here are the ones having official status in the EU (as a whole) and not the languages having official status in EU countries as the description says. The latter includes all the answers of this quiz plus Luxembourgish (official in Luxembourg) and Turkish (official in Cyprus).

You really need to change the description to 'Official languages in the EU, not the EU countries.

That means that Letzebuergesch should be one, and other official languages of the country.

Luxembourgish is a national language in Luxembourg, which was a founding member of the EU. Any reason it isn’t included? I know it doesn’t technically have “official status,” but neither do German or French in Luxembourg, they’re administrative languages.
