TriviaCan You Match These Countries to Their Official Languages? One of the most important things that separates humans from animals is the ability to communicate with language. Humans have developed thousands of languages all over the world. Some of those languages are relatively small and aren't used by many people, but others are used by millions and have been designated as official languages of countries across the world. Some have been recognized as regional languages, but they're not used widely enough to earn the status of a country's official language.
The world's 195 countries have a wide variety of official languages. Some of these languages are pretty expected, such as Polish as the official language of Poland. Several countries, however, have surprising official language choices. Take this quiz to find out just how much you know about the official languages of countries around the world!
