Languages of East Asia Quiz

The official language of each of 6 East Asian countries. Four options per question, with the complete list below the game.

About the languages of East Asia

This quiz covers the 6 countries of East 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 Taiwan at 36,193 km², and from 1.41 billion in China down to 3.6 million in Mongolia.

Between them those 6 countries speak 4 different official languages. Chinese is the most common, official in 2 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 East Asia question are always four genuinely different answers.

Frequently asked questions

How many countries are in this quiz?

This quiz covers all 6 entries in East 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.
