Do you recognize languages right away? Or do you confuse Latin with Mandarin?
Let’s find out with this quiz!
I took some proverbs and expressions from their original languages to avoid mistakes. I don’t trust Google Translate, especially when the output language is very different from the input one.
Browsing sites with unfamiliar characters gave me headaches, but it was a cool experience.
I decided to not copy and paste but use images so you couldn’t cheat easily. I doubt you planned to cheat, but better to be safe than sorry.
Oh no, another proverb.

I got 9/10 – pretty good, eh? 🙂
Fantastic, I’d say! ?
Which one did you get wrong then? ?
The Swahili one – I thought it might be Somali.
I was tempted to replace Somali with Finnish but then I would have got that wrong myself. ?
Ah, because the Swahili looks like Finnish, you think? Yeah, maybe, but how unexpected!
6/10, just exciting linguistic quiz!!!
You got 5 out of 10 right!
You’ve mastered the basics. Well done!
Lol, credits to my luck! :p
? Relying on luck is fine, I wouldn’t call that cheating. ?
You see, I’ve been offering enough makeups and dresses to Lady Luck… lol :p
LOL Bribing Lady Luck eh? Seems like it worked. ?
Impressive result. Very well done!
Congrats! ? Thanks for playing. ?
Thanks! You’re welcome! I enjoyed playing.
I didn’t know most of them but great quiz
this was a fun quiz!
Thanks for playing it! ?
I will happily play any quiz you make
I got 6 out of 10!! woot woot!!
Hehe, congrats and thanks for taking the quiz! ?
nice one … now i know where those came from
Thank you, glad to hear you liked it. ?
You got 6 out of 10 right!
You’ve mastered the basics. Well done!
It should have got 7 if I didn’t click it wrong! Hahayyy…
It’s frustrating when you click by mistake, thankfully this is not an official exam. ?
I’ve even been very happy with 6! Much better than nothing.
Got 5. It was fun playing the quiz. Create another one, and I will hop in and have fun.
Thanks! I’m not a quiz expert so I really appreciate when I’m told the ones I made were entertaining. I hope to get the time and inspiration to make some more soon. ?
Super quiz! You got 8 out of 10 right!
Wow, that’s a fantastic result! Thanks for playing. ?
I only managed 5 out of 10 which was a disappointment to me. The Icelandic/Danish one threw me because the two languages are so similar and telling the difference between Chinese, Japanese and Korean writing has always been difficult for me.
I think it’s a good result anyway. Yes, I think giving similar languages as options made it a little more difficult. Icelandic has more special characters compared to Danish, that was perhaps the only way to differentiate. Chinese and Japanese are very alike, they have many pictograms in common (kanji).
I wasn’t aware that Icelandic had more characters. My parents lived in Iceland for a bit and we had a couple of books in Icelandic. I used to love looking at it even though I didn’t have a clue what I was looking at.
Interesting quiz! I got only 5 out of 10 right 🙂
Thank you! I’m glad you found it interesting, and not a bad result. ?
Thank you! Looking forward to your new quizzes 🙂
Tough one missed three!
You did great! I was thinking of making it easy but I guess adding options that are somehow similar made it tricky. ?
I like being challenged. 🙂
Fun quiz! I missed Albanian and Swahili.
Very well done! Happy to know you found the quiz to be fun. ?
