1400 but that's only because I'm interested in languages. I speak English, Swedish, German, Romanian, can read the other roman languages ( French/Italian/Portuguese/Spanish) can read and write Farsi. I have no problem differentiating between Cantonese, Japanese, Mandarin and Korean.
The quiz is most difficult when presenting me with choices between slavic combinations (Ukranian/Polish/Russian) and far east weirdness: Tamil / Burmese / Malay.
- netvarun 13y agoCould you elaborate a bit on the part where you mentioned "far east weirdness: Tamil / Burmese / Malay". What's so weird about those languages? All three languages you mentioned are linguistically very different and have long histories (particularly Tamil). I wouldn't call them far east either. These languages are predominantly spoken in South and South-east Asia. (I am from Singapore where Tamil and Malay are official languages)
- icecreampain 13y agoThey're "weird" because I have little experience with them, having barely ever heard malay until this quiz. I correctly guessed it because I heard the word "muslim" or "islam" in the clip. And they ARE far east, if you're European. :)
