	It accepts Indian for Punjabi in BC but not in Alberta

	Nice quiz! A few more minor points besides Everblue's: typo in "german" in Manitoba, it needs capitalised; the Slave languages are generally spelled Slavey in modern writing; and Micmac is also spelled as Mikmaq, Migmaq, and several others, and should ideally probably display as Mi'kmaq (the current preferred spelling).

	Thanks for the comments! I will fix them

	Jam1:	Oct 31st, 2010 at 21:49 GMT	10 points
	Great quiz (nothing else to add!)

	Sjoerd:	Oct 31st, 2010 at 22:10 GMT	5 points
	love it

	Bhubha:	Nov 1st, 2010 at 03:35 GMT	12 points
	dont accept indian for punjabi because there are many dialects in india so to call indian punjabi would be completely incorrect, as the most commonly spoken language in india is hindi anyways

	steeltown:	Nov 1st, 2010 at 04:01 GMT	1 point
	Loved it even though I had to look up several! Is Athabaskan an acceptable alternate for Athapaskan?

	Who are the .2% who don't get English or French?

	Dunnski:	Nov 1st, 2010 at 17:46 GMT	4 points
	@hibernia: Clearly that's the burgeoning Dogrib Sporcle contingent.

	nymous:	Nov 1st, 2010 at 18:39 GMT	-3 points
	I missed English and French because they aren't popular back home in our Behchokǫ̀ community.

	@Devinel: First, thanks for posting a fun Canadian culture quiz. Now to business: accepting "Slavey" for both "North Slavey" and "South Slavey" is one thing, but filling in "Punjabi" when "Hindi" is guessed is bordering on offensively insensitive. This is a quiz about languages (and consequently cultures) in Canada. To group those two together is to imply that the cultures of Indian-Canadians are indistinct and not valuable. Feelings aside -- be true to your source. If that document groups "Chinese (All Dialects)" together, so be it. It does NOT group Indian languages together, and neither should you.

	@HPZ, Good point I shall adjust the quiz

	Devinel:	Nov 5th, 2010 at 19:44 GMT	3 points
	Would this be considered Geography or Language?

	HPZ:	Nov 8th, 2010 at 00:37 GMT	5 points
	I think it's a shame that the categories are mutually exclusive ... it's very much both Geography and Language. Forced to choose, though, I'd pick Language. The layout of the quiz is by geography, but the answers are exclusively languages.

	kevincrumbs:	Nov 24th, 2010 at 07:25 GMT	3 points
	Apparently Chinese speakers do not like living in the Prairie provinces.

	thisisaname:	Mar 1st, 2011 at 04:54 GMT	8 points
	Can you accept "Athabaskan" for "Athapaskan"?

	Kmox:	Oct 4th, 2011 at 22:39 GMT	1 point
	Ah I guessed Hindi but not Punjabi.....and if all of Chinese goes together why wouldn't these?

	starwars314159:	Nov 17th, 2011 at 15:41 GMT	1 point
	You mean eskimo isn't a language?!

	TreehuggnCowgirl:	Dec 8th, 2011 at 20:27 GMT	9 points
	You need to accept other spellings of Athapaskan, Athapascan, Athabaskan and Athabascan. Dogrib and the Slaveys are actually both Athabascan languages. It's a little cruel not to accept Inuit, especially since Inuktitut is often used to refer to multiple different Inuit languages, particularly in Nunavut. On another note, what are a bunch of Filipinos doing in Nunavut?

	JayZed:	Dec 10th, 2011 at 21:36 GMT	4 points
	I was hoping there would be lots of Kannada speakers.

	Pemster:	Dec 11th, 2011 at 06:43 GMT	2 points
	Really, 20 people speak Tagalog in Nunavut? Just when you start to think your life is interesting...

	chriskotx:	Dec 12th, 2011 at 00:43 GMT	-1 points
	I agree with the Cowgirl. Dont be cruel. I tried Inuit 2 or 3 times thinking I'd mispelled it or something. I've never heard of Inukitut. Very interesting that Spanish only shows up in Quebec.

	balatjr:	Dec 13th, 2011 at 21:03 GMT	2 points
	I also make a plea for athabascan and inuit. Otherwise, very interesting. (Although Wu, Mandarin and Cantonese are at least as distinct as Hindi and Punjabi.)
