	If you're going to use the catch-all phrases: "Indigenous Amerindian/Mayan Languages" as the desired responses (I wonder how many will get that correctly), how about listing all the many possible such languages and giving credit for them? - especially the ones I entered: Nahuatl and Quiche. I see you did accept Mayan, which is just a part of the catch-all term. ...and are all those actually official languages of Mexico and Guatemala? I see no source given to check it by.

	English is the most spoken language in the U.S., but there are no official languages in the United States.

	@Anne13. I never listed down English as an official language of the U.S.A. @chriskotx Unfortunately I am not very aware of many native American languages. I did do some research but got into some doubt which languages were extinct, still in use, official, etc. I will provide a source, sorry about that part, momentary lapse in judgement.

	@Jam1. Thanks, will work on it. However, if there is anyone out there who knows a bit about the native American languages which are official in Mexico and Guatemala, I would be much obliged. Thanks guys, have a good 'un!

	Hi guys. I was wondering if anybody could come back to me about which indigenous languages are official in North America and where? @chriskotx if you could lend a hand, as you seem to know your way about these languages. If anybody out there reads this, please help by providing a link, or any knowledge you may know. Thanks.

	@Twinkle1234: Even though Greenland is in the area of North America, it is still part of Europe because it is controlled by Denmark. So Danish and Greenlandic/Kalaallisut should not be included. Same deal with The Netherlands Antilles and Papamiento/Dutch.

	@eab21: Europe is a geographical term, not political. Greenland is still part of North America, just as Siberia is in Asia and French Guiana is in South America.
