About the languages of Territories & Dependencies
This quiz covers the 29 countries of Territories & Dependencies 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 Greenland at 2,166,086 km² to Svalbard and Jan Mayen at -1.0 km², and from 886 thousand in Réunion down to 30 in South Georgia.
Between them those 29 countries speak 5 different official languages. English is the most common, official in 15 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 Territories & Dependencies question are always four genuinely different answers.

Frequently asked questions
How many countries are in this quiz?
This quiz covers all 29 entries in Territories & Dependencies. 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.
