About the languages of Asia

This quiz covers the 31 countries of Asia that have a single official language. Countries with several — Belgium, Switzerland, Canada — are left out, because a question with three right answers cannot be marked fairly.

The countries here run from China at 9,706,961 km² to Maldives at 300 km², and from 1.41 billion in China down to 466 thousand in Brunei.

Between them those 31 countries speak 20 different official languages. Arabic is the most common, official in 10 of them — colonial history is most of the reason a language quiz is not the same shape as a map.

Distractors are taken from countries in the same region and never repeat a language, so the four options in a Asia question are always four genuinely different answers.

Frequently asked questions

How many countries are in this quiz?

This quiz covers all 31 entries in Asia. Questions are drawn from the full set, and the complete list appears in the table on this page.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no sign-up and no login. Your score stays in your own browser and is never sent anywhere.

How are the wrong answers chosen?

Deliberately, not at random. Each question prefers flags that are genuinely confusable with the right answer, then countries from the same sub-region, so guessing by elimination does not work.

Is it free?

Yes, completely free with no limit on how many times you play.
