	Nice. You should do some for other languages.

	I'm assuming you're listing these in order, in which case Shenzhen should not be above Beijing.

	Surely Cantonese is the most widely spoken language in Shenzhen? And I'd have thought Telugu was more spoken than Urdu in Hyderabad, given that it's majority Hindu. And doesn't Madrid have more people than Santiago?

	Shenzhen is actually the only city in Guangdong that has Mandarin as the predominant language. It's so diverse because of its political/economic status that it uses Mandarin so often.

	Sorry, you're right I made a mistake with Shenzhen being above Beijing (though Mandarin is the majority language for the reasons you said). Hyderabad uses Urdu & Telugu roughly equally, so I thought I'd include it. Different sources will tell you different things (which is why making city quizzes can be so difficult), but my sources which I think are quite accurate put Santiago as having a larger population than Madrid.

	In terms of Santiago, it seems to depend on how exactly you define Santiago. The commune of Madrid is much larger than the commune of Santiago, but Greater Santiago is larger than Madrid proper, and the Santiago metro is slightly larger than the Madrid metro. That's interesting about Shenzhen speaking Mandarin.

	Great quiz, although metro London is bigger than metro Chicago. Surprising about Shenzhen, but it makes sense as Shenzhen attracts a ton of workers from the Mandarin-speaking North.
