	I think that Aragonese shouldn't be included, as the region of Aragón doesn't border the Mediterranean. It's true that the instructions say "languages spoken in countries that border the Mediterranean Sea", but then why not Galician or Basque as well? They're spoken in Spain, which borders the Mediterranean, although of course Galicia or the Basque Country don't.

	What about Occitan? And why did you list the Italian islands with Italy in parentheses, but not do the same for Corsica? Good idea, needs cleaning up.

	I added Occitan and fixed the Corsica thing. As for the Galician and Basque, those two regions border the Atlantic Ocean and so wouldn't really fit in with the point of the quiz. I am trying to only limit the languages to those spoken around the Mediterranean Sea. It is impossible to include every single language.

	The region of Aragon also lies on the atlantic ocean and has no connection whatsoever to the mediterranean, unless going through the rest of spain. Aragonese is also only spoken there, unless of course by "intra-country immigrants". I think you're confusing it with andalusian, which is the region which lies on the mediterranean. by the way neither aragonese nor andalusian (or murcian/guertano, also a local language of the mediterranean) are official languages in Spain.

	Aragon does Not border the Atlantic Ocean, if you looked at a map you would see that. It does not touch the Mediterranean either but is very close which is why I included it. As to your other comment 'by the way neither aragonese nor andalusian (or murcian/guertano, also a local language of the mediterranean) are official languages in Spain.' if you read the description you would see that languages are not necessarily official ones.

	alright, I concur that Aragon does not border any sea. Remembered that wrong. But then you'd definitely have to include all other languages spoken in Spain as well, because either take the country as a whole - and all languages spoken in it, or only take the shores, but mixing it up as you please just doesn't sit right.
