It is. I even tried typing it 'Saami' and 'Sapmi', and it didn't take. Oh, well. Edited by mashmusic11235 on 24 June 2011 at 1:29am 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

It specifically says at the top along with the instructions, "Only national languages are accepted, not regional ones." 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

The quiz claims that æ in Danish is a ligature. Nope, it is a fullblown letter with it own place in the alphabet like Danish ø, but unlike French œ which isn't included in the French alphabet. The alternative spelling "ae" is used when Danish is written on foreign keyboards, but it is not seen as correct.
And yes, it is somewhat nerdish to care about that, so I am entitled to point it out in this thread. 3 persons have voted this message useful |
