	this was fun. one suggestion: make st kitts nevis and st vincent grenadines (and the like) acceptable answers, just like on the other quizzes

	It's ironic that a quiz about speaking English has a grammatically incorrect title.

	Gave you four, will bump it up to five if you take nhrafan's suggestion :D

	I'm sorry but I'm from the Netherlands and although a lot of people speak english it is certainly not one of our primary languages, the only two are Dutch and Frisian. You might want to change that.

	I agree with nhrafan. I tried St Kitts and Nevis, St Vincent, and St Lucia, and since it didn't take them I just assumed that English wasn't one of the main languages in those places. It didn't occur to me to spell the whole word out, since that's not required on other quizzes.

	English is also an official language in Iceland.

	Uh, English is not a primary language in the Netherlands. What is you source?

	Netherlands...?! I imagine the Dutch would beg to differ! Quite surprised that Fiji isn't there - every source I've seen has stated that English is an official language in Fiji.

	I already created this quiz http://www.sporcle.com/games/nearlyextinct/English_Official_Language.

	This does say "primary," not "official."

	why did I have to type in "United States of America"? Usually "United States" or just "U.S" is enough.

	Nice idea, poor execution.

	Netherlands is on the list because English is commonly used in the Netherlands Antilles, particularly in the Windward Islands (St. Maarten, St. Eustatius and Saba). That makes Netherlands technically correct, if a bit misleading.

	Dutch and Frisian aren't real languages. These people have just made them up.

	The Netherlands Antilles are Dutch possessions, but they're not part of the Netherlands the way French Guiana is part of France. Also, Fiji should definitely be added to the list. My sister's visited it, and I have a friend from Fiji, and English is definitely the primary language there.
