5/16, this was quite difficult for me, but so interesting!!! Just great quiz!!!
It was hard for most, I believe, Anastasia. I’m glad you found the quiz interesting 🙂
You got 9 out of 16 right!
Not so bad
Many were wild guesses but loved the quiz. Like John I tended to assume that if I hadn’t heard of a language it must have been invented! 🙂
It is a reasonable basis to go on – especially if you don’t recognise most of the language names! Thanks for taking the quiz 🙂
I got nine, and all but two were pure guesses. Never heard of most of these. Hopefully I can remember some of these. Interesting to see how many were natural as compared to constructed.
You got a decent score regardless. Sometimes one’s guesser works better than others )
I have heard only a few languages there. Only 10 out of 16 but some of them were just pure guessing.
You did pretty well, Fortune. You must be a good guesser 🙂
wow i really didn’t know most of these. got 9 but that was luck.
That’s pretty good luck – don’t knock it!
well some of it was educated guess luck!
Definitely the most effective kind 🙂
of guesses, most definitely!
I scored 5. I have never heard many of the languages on the list. Thanks for providing information on the languages. An interesting quiz.
Well, in fairness, I deliberately chose less well-known natural languages, so this was a particularly challenging quiz except for the occasional specialist 🙂
Yah, it was easy for the experts. I would have sworn less than seven were real.
that was one great quiz and I went by instinct alone and got 13
You are in possession of strikingly good instincts, then 🙂
10 correct – I tended to assume that if I hadn’t heard of a language it must have been invented!
A reasonable approach, and it seems to have worked in well over 50% of the cases 🙂
10 is good even though I used the hit and miss method. Interesting quiz. Did not know there were constructed languages.
Before researching this quiz, I knew there were two or three, but I was surprised how many there are!
You got 10 out of 16 right!
Great quiz as always Norman. Learned a lot here.
Thank you, Carol. You did quite well for such a relatively obscure topic 🙂
