    I do have two degrees in linguistics; I better be able to do this by now!

    Though even I had to think for a second on recognizing written Urdu from written Farsi.

    It's sadly if you live and believe in this, but it will mostly be your loss. To understand what's around us is to have an open mind. Languages are part of our cultural backgrounds. Never mind.

    Great. And even the most trained eye has at times to think twice. :-)

  • When I read my Bible the Words of our Lord are in English.  If English was suitable to Jesus, it is suitable to all of us.

    You got 13 out of 19 right!

    Damn! You can identify a lot of languages. You just might be a genius.

    Some were lucky guesses, others were helped by process of elimination by having got one previously wrong. Probably means that I take tests well...

    A bit below the 75% but not bad at all. Which languages cost you the most troubles?

    You are a Wizard ;) I only got 10 of them right. In one of the questions I could not even recognize any of the 3 languages

    Oh. Sorry. I'm not aware though being a wizard. Although I got the Dark Witch in another quiz. Hmm.

    You got 18 out of 19 right!

    1. Wow! You identified 18 languages just by looking at them. You are almost definitely a genius.

    I got Punjabi wrong.

    Searching for Youtube videos in other languages has served me well!

    I was going to ask which Wong it was you didn't get, Punjabi it was. Really great result yet again. :-)
