I got 450. Is that good? Bad? Average? I was doing ok until I mistook Hebrew for Farsi and then my confidence crumbled and I got two more wrong in a row.

i played it a few times and the most i got was 750 but was as low as 300. after that i think i'm cheating because now i'm learning the clips. my high score is probably due to luck because i can't really distinguish between different south asian, balkan, or southeast asian languages. and i really have no idea about the pacific island ones. or scottish gaelic. i got that one very wrong because it didn't sound like anything to me.

Also got 450! Central Tibetan played a role in my downfall.

I got 750 the first and only time round. I'm probably a moderate language nerd, so I was sure of most of my answers, except for South Efate, which I've never heard and then I got two language families mixed up (Polynesian and Tai-Kadai).

well i got 1050 when i just played and i guess it's not cheating that bad to learn some of them because it gets way harder anyway as it gives you more choices. i can really only learn to ID the indo-european ones.

I'll give it another go later. Cheers, harbl.

this is addictive
although quite infuriating when it gives you a choice of 3 former Yugoslavian languages. Bosnian, Croatian or Slovenian? errr
(tbh I am mostly just making assumptions and possibly showing my ignorance here)

i like how they put the populations of the incorrect ones, like U JUST DISSED 38 MILLION MALAYAM SPEAKERS, GET FAMILIAR

heh, the Maori sample has a pretty obvious tell if you listen to the end.

Bah, why isn't this written instead of spoken?
(I suppose to stop googling the answers)

950, relied on tiny little clues. Had no idea 32m people spoke Nepali.

1350. I guess I need to listen to more music in Dinka and Central Tibetan.

Man, on my fourth question I was asked to distinguish between Mandarin and Cantonese... I'm not ashamed of not being able to do that. Got 600 points.

600, that's better

the random english words and the latin text made me think tagalog but it didn't seem right
― clouds, Sunday, 31 August 2014 01:28 (nine years ago) link
i think urdu or something is close though i have no idea about other similar languages. not tagalog. the random english is in a lot of things! however any time i have heard urdu interpretation from english it has been like half english words and made me laugh

I am REALLY TERRIBLE at this but so taken with it! Wish you could listen to alternate clips on the "Languages" page so you could associate the sounds & cadence with the language name.

It covers a lot of territory, but I'm thinking maybe a Turkic language of central asia.

If you read it out loud it'll sound like French
― mick signals, Tuesday, 28 May 2019 21:28 (four years ago) link
yeah it's way easier to read than French too
― the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Tuesday, 28 May 2019 21:29 (four years ago) link
i like the way it looks orthographically
