I don't think some of this are accurate, for example Bengali in Sierra Leone.

Too many languages. You have pretty much all Balkan languages, major central Asian languages which makes it too easy, if you guess a country for one language you can easily get it for two others too.

I like the quiz. DrHans is right - German is an official language in the Trentino-Alto Adige region of Italy.

There's no way Sierra Leone speaks Bengali- their official language is English, and most people (as in 97%) speak Krio, a derivative of English and several African languages.

Great quiz. I was NEVER going to get that 82nd answer, and I suspect that you made this quiz just so you could use it!

Fiji and Sierra Leone rule. Only way to guess that is an extraordinary (or lucky) knowledge of languages or you've done the quiz before.

@Sjoerd: Just because you didn't know doesn't mean you'd need an extraordinary knowledge of languages to know this. Ethnic Indians make up almost 40% of Fiji's population. It's not an extraordinary thing to know if you know even a little about Fiji.

Apparently Bengali was proclaimed an official language to recognize the contributions of the Bangladeshi contingent in the UN peacekeeping force. However, it isn't listed on the Wikipedia page for Sierra Leone, nor the CIA factbook, so I'm wondering how "official" this is; perhaps it was purely honorary. It's certainly not used in practice.

What is Fiji doing speaking Bengali?! Sounds to me like they just want people to like them. Curse you Fiji, curse you!
