Languages of the world
English
Intermediate
Every language is a window to a different world: each one has its own history, features and peculiarities that make it unique. Since so many languages are endangered today, a good way to preserve them is to enhance our knowledge about such colorful variety. This is the aim of this quiz, which is intended for both linguistics students and language enthusiasts - or just curious. It consists of three parts: 1) language families; 2) endangered languages and linguistic anthropology; 3) writing systems. Ready to learn more about the languages of the world? Enjoy!

tough, but it was good
Sharp Chameleon, what's your field of studies? May I know a little more about it? So interested about your background 😊
Hi Lauren, I am a linguist :) I have studied both historical and anthropological linguistics. Here I tried to put a bit of both :) Basically I have studied how languages evolve, change, and how language is connected with culture.
There was a mistake. Bulgarian isn't a Romance language.
Hi Petko, I never said it was, indeed. Neither the other answers in that question (#6) were romance languages, as I mentioned in the additional information "The other languages belong to other Indo-European subgroups".
