Nice. BTW, the most common language of Kabul is Dari (Persian).

So somehow I enter Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and Hong Kong and it still doesn't give me "Pearl River Delta"? I'm not a fan of that.

@SomeoneRandom-Ahmadabad accepted now. @Hamilton_Burger-Guangzhou should have been accepted and the source considers Shenzhen and Hong Kong as different metropolitan areas. Since Pearl River Delta, might be confusing, I'm changing it to Guangzhou-Dongguan-Foshan with all those cities being acceptable. Thanks for playing!

@Mountleek: While Dari and Pashto are both spoken commonly in Afghanistan and Kabul, the question wasn't which language is spoken mostly in the following metropolis but in which metropolis are there most speakers of the given language. The only other major metropolis to speak Pashto is Peshawar and there's a large Urdu minority there as well. Regardless, Kabul is the metropolitan area in the world with the most Pashto speakers :)

Actually the question is "which language is spoken mostly" i.e. "primarily speaks". You may want to re-word the question as "metropolis with the most speakers of the given language". (this confusted me as well)
