The ones you have labelled "Iranian" and "Indic" are also called "Indo-Iranian" and "Indo-Aryan".

I agree with AdamBishop: I think you need to make it more explicit which level you mean. Latin, for example, could be Latino-Faliscan or Celto-Italic as well as Italic.

Good quiz, with a nice even bar chart. I think you could be a bit more forgiving with some of the answers. E.g. Italic=Latin=Romance=Romantic. In my view all could be accepted for that language group.

Greek should be Hellenic which is the actual name for the group

@abanazerb--Italic=Romance=Romantic, but Latin is a part of that group, not the group itself. Geg should be "Gheg", with an H. Armenian is not related to Greek, which is part of the Hellenic family, not Greek.
