Got them all. At a slight advantage, re: where I'm from. The one that stumped me the most was Mirandese. |

I got 26/46 and I'm American. When it came to the smaller Eastern European countries I had trouble remembering what languages they speak. Everyone should get 15-20 fairly easily. |

Never been to Europe, but I managed 29/46. (Ddeubel, how'd you get 49/46?)
Some I missed I should have got. My grandmother from Pontypridd would have been devastated that I missed her home country. I also should have got two that I simply didn't know how to spell.
One that I thought for sure was on the list was Flemish. I guess that's Dutch?
And, there are some that I wouldn't have known no matter how long I had. I don't want to spoil the fun for anyone else, but who knew Norway had another official language? |

37/46
Didn't know about Mirandese.
Luxembughese, Slovaks, Mecedons.. don't care.
Forgot the Welsh
Flemish is what Belgian call the Dutch language. |

30/46 - couldn't remember Catalan, though I have been there. Forgot about Malta, Basque, and Slovak etc. Some I didn't know as a language - like Sami, which I believe is the language of the reindeer people.
Fun quiz! |

30/46. The Eastern European languages evaded me, as did random ones I've never heard of like Sami and Romansh. |

There's nothing I hate more than a dirty Laplander. |

Oops - sorry, I meant 39.
And what da hell is "Mirandese"? I also was disheartened that Corsican nor Roma were on the list. I did get Sami, one of the first indigenous and 'non national " languages to get official status.
