There are way more languages!! (The Ethnologue contains statistics for 7358 languages) For example: why is "Punjabi" not listed? (Punjabi is the most spoken language of Pakistan)

I believe this is only recognizing official languages at the national level, and Punjabi isn't an official language of Pakistan. However, I believe the quiz is missing Estonian.

The official language of the Holy See is Latin, but Vatican City as a whole only has Italian as an official language.
