Got this from [livejournal.com profile] coalboy: The World Languages Test. I'd like to see the details of the languages I guessed at, or wasn't sure about.

Language Savvy
You scored a 230 out of 400 on language knowledge.
Congratulations! You know your stuff! You've scored higher than most people would and you probably have taken a linguistics or cultural science class to boot. Most likely you are bilingual or even multilingual. You are also probably fascinated by languages and want to learn more of them in the future. When you travel to a foreign country, you make a point to learn some of the language instead of imposing your own. It's people like you who help promote the exchange of languages worldwide. Keep it up!




My test tracked 1 variable How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 99% on knowledge

It's true: I'm interested in languages. But I haven't studied linguistics or cultural sciences - history is so much more useful, and covers all of these things.

Cool test! I scored 220, which is pretty amazing since I'm barely uni-lingual. It must've been the Papiamento question...

I guessed at the Papiamento question. I guess you have a good grasp of geography - and good general knowledge, which I think was what got me through. It was more fun than a lot of online quizzes, anyway.

P.S. I liked it that one of the questions mentioned Occitan.

woo hoo! I got 250. But I want to see all the correct answers too!

Maybe we can hunt them down.

I saw this at work and couldn't wait to get home to try it!

So what was the answer to the Quebec question? I put Cree, but I was sorely tempted by Inuit..

I don't know the answer to the Quebec language one, I'm embarrassed to say. Nor do I remember what I guessed - so close to home, and I haven't a clue!

and btw

Just looked it up on the wiki:

Inus 13,800
Crees 13,000
Algonquin 13,000

Close numbers, I'd say.

Thanks for looking it up.

I don't think Algonquin was on the list - I would have guessed that first.

I guessed Inus, because of the massive amt of land they have up north, but who knows what the test maker thought.

Disappointment! I thought I would be better at that.

I had a similar reaction, but don't feel that this was a test of true skills: it was sort of a Triival Pursuit version of linguistic knowledge. Encourages me to look up a few things, though!

I wonder they don't ask about lanquage spoken on Malta. It's only semitic lanquage in Europe, so it would be a good question.

Yes - and it's a fascinating one.
