	How does Vietnamese not beat Vlax Romani?

	Great idea, but I do also have to question the source (which you didn't list)

	@adam--the maker didn't say these were the most widely spoken languages for each letter. However, how many people are going to think Vlax Romani for "V"?

	i think it would be a better quiz if you chose the language with the most number of speakers in each letter.

	@adam- i work with languages in my job, and there is no way most people would think of vlax romani over vietnamese. interesting idea for a quiz.

	for 't,' i thought of turkish, and for 'u,' i thought of ukranian. i also thought of bulgarian for 'b' and icelandic for 'i.' for 'l' i thought of lao.

	I have fixed the vietnamese/vlax romani mistake. All of these languages are now the most widely spoken for each letter of the alphabet. Telugu is bigger than Turkish, Urdu, although almost a dialect of hindi, is considered a language and bigger than Ukrainian, Bulgarian has way less speakers than Bengali, more people speak Italian than Icelandic, and more people speak Lombard than Lao.

	Lots of fun. I nominated this game to be featured. :D

	I'm not sure your T is correct... Turkey itself has more than 70 million people, plus a huge diaspora, yet your Telugu number is less than 70 million.

	You are correct, elnok, but not everyone in Turkey speaks Turkish. However, it was the first one I thought of.

	For T I was trying to spell the language they speak in the Philippines.

	Tagalog is spoken by few people as a first language in the Philippines, as there are many minorities that have their own dialects. Telugu is spoken by a large population in India, however.

	http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_number_of_native_speakers seems to support the writer in the Turkey/Telugu (don't forget Tamil) debate. That wouldn't be a bad source to cite if you'd like to get it verified and featured.

	I think Vulcan is an acceptable answer. :)

	this is a horrible quiz. Vietnamese? Korean? Lithuanian? Latvian? Hindi? Catalan? Tagalog? more . . .

	Golonguthur:	Dec 29th, 2010 at 14:54 GMT	1 point
	@kagomeshuko: As I have already said, and as you would have figured out had you read the comments, all the languages are the most widely spoken for each letter of the alphabet. And Vietnamese and Hindi are already on the quiz, so I don't know what you're talking about...
