	This looks like it might be really good, but please make it "answer in order" so that people can't just type in random countries. I will try it if it is set up that way.

	Does Australia not speak English then?

	It is ridiculous to accept Belgium for French and German while Dutch isn't on this list...

	Where is the USA?

	AceInTheHole:	Apr 27th, 2010 at 21:21 GMT	2 points
	And the USA speaks what...Aramaic? And how about the Chinese?

	checkers:	Apr 27th, 2010 at 21:22 GMT	2 points
	And I don't mean to be critical, but why are some of the lists in alphabetical order, while others are not?

	I believe they speak Portuguese in Guinea-Bissau and Sao Tome & Principe, although I haven't checked this so I could be wrong.

	This quiz should just be titled "Can you name some countries?" And btw in Belgium they also speak Flemish. Netherlands is Dutch.

	awesome game, don't know why everybody is complaining...

	stjaernstoft:	Apr 27th, 2010 at 22:10 GMT	2 points
	Eh, the "languages" seem to be named already, what you're asking for is probably the countries where they speak these languages? And Serbian is listed twice? But really? Why these languages and not others? Explanation? Logics? However, people speak Dutch (Flemish) in Belgium, but it's still a French-speaking country as well, so at least that's not wrong.

	That was a pretty fun game, though there are some pretty valid complaints.

	marpocky:	Apr 27th, 2010 at 23:03 GMT	3 points
	Good idea, very bad execution (at present, can be fixed).

	mpdleslie:	Apr 28th, 2010 at 00:49 GMT	2 points
	It was my first game...didn't realize it would be under such scrutiny.

	thefeintinggoat:	Apr 28th, 2010 at 02:58 GMT	1 point
	I enjoyed this, although I sympathize with a lot of the complaints. I can add one, accept Timor Leste for East Timor; this seems to be a sporcle convention in other games that I've played.

	cerridwencol:	Apr 28th, 2010 at 03:46 GMT	1 point
	Not to be personal, but I've been on St. Lucia, and my recollection was that they spoke English, too....

	cantthinkofaname:	Apr 28th, 2010 at 03:57 GMT	1 point
	for Portuguese you forgot Guinea Bissau. And there's not nearly enough time unless you're a touch typist and are constantly typing. Maybe another 1-2 minutes.

	The layout could be improved. I suggest re-ordering it so that the languages with the most answers appear in the same row to try to reduce the amount of scrolling needed. I also suggest you break English up into two separate columns so that it will reduce the need to scroll even more.

	I believe you need to add several Caribbean nations to your list of countries where English is an official language. Also you should accept Timor Leste for East Timor and furthermore you are missing Sao Tome and Principe from your list of Portuguese speaking countries.
