How good are you at identifying languages by their sounds? Out of thousands of languages spoken in the world, only 80 are in The Great Language Game. You will be given a snippet of speech, and you must select from two, three, or four choices. It starts out easy, but gets more difficult along the way. How much difference is there in several languages spoken in the former Yugoslavia, anyway? The first time around, I scored 450. That’s probably not particularly good; I don’t know. But the test is also good for training your ear to recognize languages. How do you do? -via Boing Boing
Final score: 650
