The Great Language Game

Challenge yourself to identify some seventy languages by their sound alone. Learn more about how languages sound and where they’re spoken.

This is much more challenging than I expected it to be; I haven’t managed to score above 500.

Very interesting game, if really quite challenging. I scored 600 both times around, and I failed both times when trying to determine a Slavic language so far. I could tell that it was that, (rather than, say, Khmer or Sinhalese), but narrowing it down was hard.
