	I don't think Italian is an official language in Slovenia on national level, only regional.

	how about malta as a bonus answer? maltese is listed officially as semitic but wiki says over half the vocabulary comes from italian/sicilian

	tstackmoney - the number of loanwords has no bearing on the language's origins; so many English words and roots are from French but it is still undeniably Germanic in origin.

	One of these things is not like the others... (Slovenia).

	Please accept 'Vatican'. Furthermore, both Latin and Italian are official languages of the Vatican City State...

	Please add Mauritius where French language is commonly used.

	Maybe USA (Puerto Rico) should be on?

	@Chromatos: agreed it's not a Romance language, but that's why it would be good as just a _bonus_ answer - it doesn't quite fit, but it's close enough to be interesting. By the way, shouldn't East Timor be listed as 'Timor Leste'? (Like in Côte d'Ivoire, the government has requested that this form be used internationally rather than translations.)

	French is official in Dominica.

	@ stjaernstoft: maybe as a bonus, and then puerto rico, not usa.

	French, not France for Mauritius

	isn't latin an official language of the Vatican as well? that is also a romance language.

	In education and business, French dominates in Morocco, Tunisia, and Algeria, so I would consider including these. Good quiz!

	I got 50.

	@Williams27 same in lebanon, but maybe include these 4 as bonuses as the official and predominant languages in these countries is arabic

	I did not know that Moldovan was a Romance language. Also, I could have sworn Spanish was official in the Philippines, but no, no it is not. It used to be but was removed in 1987. Maybe a bonus answer though...?

	Haitian Creole (or Kreyòl) should also be listed as an official language of Haiti. Aranese is also an official language in Spain to the same extent that Catalan and Galician are (co-official with Spanish in certain regions). Macau (where Portuguese is still official) and Puerto Rico could be added as bonuses.

	The Moldovan language is the same as Romanian.

	quizzicle:	Feb 26th, 2011 at 20:59 GMT		1 point
	Moldovans speak Romanian, there is no Moldovan language.

	minor point but I'm accustomed to abbreviations counting for democratic republic of the congo and republic of the congo with other quizzes (dem rep of the congo... you get the idea)
