About the languages of the Balkans

This quiz covers the 9 countries of the Balkans 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 Romania at 238,391 km² to Montenegro at 13,812 km², and from 19.0 million in Romania down to 623 thousand in Montenegro.

Between them those 9 countries speak 9 different official languages. Albanian is the most common, official in 1 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 the Balkans question are always four genuinely different answers.

Frequently asked questions

How many countries are in this quiz?

This quiz covers all 9 entries in the Balkans. 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.
