	Please read the Game Note. I wanted to do these quizes for every official language accross the globe! Please comment and, since this game won't be published (by my reckoning) and also rate the quiz. Yes, there are a few bonus answers too. Have a great day!

	Good quiz, I had no idea that Norwegian was so complex!

	arpw:	Sep 12th, 2010 at 21:00 GMT		2 points
	You should accept Romansch and Belorussian I think

	I think that you mean that Nynorsk Norwegian holds official status in Norway.

	What about Galician, Catalan, and Basque in Spain? I know they are regional but aren't they still official? And I think Mirandese in Portugal too?

	First, please accept Gaelic for Irish. Also, the two Norwegian languages are confusing. It might be nice if Norwegian was accepted for both of them, since I think that very few people will know that there are two. One more thing - the scoring is messed up. Please fix this. Otherwise, not a bad quiz.

	Please provide a source, and consolidate both forms of Norwegian into one answer.

	Wow I have alot to answer for here! @arpw I will accept them. @beckala63 official and regional languages are not the same. It would be like saying Hindi is an official language of the UK because of the large Indian minority present there. @krushr I cannot accept Gaelic for Irish as Scottish Gaelic, Ulster Scots, Irish and a number of other languages spoken in the UK can also be considered as Gaelic. I'm not sure about putting the two Norwegian languages as one answer, although I will think about it. I do not understand what you mean about the scoring though, so if you could explain what you mean in another comment, or if someone out there could do it, it would be most appreciated. @RS89 I will provide a source.

	@Twinkle- It's not really the same thing as saying Hindi is an official language in the UK just because people speak it there. The regional languages I mentioned are actually recognized as official regional languages according to the CIA factbook. If you don't want to list them because they are only official regionally, that is totally your choice. I'm just trying to clarify what I meant. Great quiz though, and I'm enjoying the whole series you are making. Thanks!

	@Twinkle1234: About the scoring - For example, I typed in German as one of my responses, and it was accepted. Then, when time ran out and the rest of the answers popped up, German was unhighlighted, as though I hadn't answered it. Then, when I went to "see the most missed" it was highlighted again. And so were some answers I hadn't gotten. And the hierarchy of most answered and least answered just made no sense - like, English was way down the list below one of the Norwegian ones. Maybe a Sporcle glitch?

	The United Kingdom has no official language. The government has never made any documents declaring an official language, so English holds no official status.

	@Jam1 English holds no official status IN the UK. It does however in Ireland and my country (Malta). @beckala63 What you are saying is very interesting, guess I'm gonna spend the next few days looking into this! Please keep playing and commenting! There's only South America left to make so, unfortunately the series is coming to a close, but I will think up another series and it will be good too! Please keep checking out my quizzes and feel free to tell me what you think! @krushr I'm sorry this happened to you, but I have nothing to do with it. It is, as you guessed, a Sporcle glitch. I will, however, try some editing and see what I can do. Thanks for playing, commenting, rating and nominating everyone! Good night!

	@Twinkle- I will definitely keep an eye out for your future quizzes. :-)

	Hi guys, I will be taking this quiz down temporarily to make some arrangements as of 1:00 pm (GMT + 02:00). Sorry for the inconvenience.

	Frisian is official in the Netherlands, or at least it is in Friesland, where it is spoken...

	Twinkle1234:	Sep 15th, 2010 at 14:37 GMT		1 point
	Hi guys. I've played about with the editing of the quiz and so I hope that I've fixed the problem. @D3nn1s You are right....and wrong. Frisian is official in Friesland, but not in the entire Netherlands. Felmish in Belgium is the same thing as it is official in the eastern provinces of Belgium, but not the entire country. And we are tackling the entire country here. Thanks to everyone for comments, ratings, nominations, and playing. Have a great day!
