Sprachprofi, does the bot recognise Luxembourgish as language? I tweeted about it yesterday, but no update on my highscore yet. Or did I make mistake in my tweet?

The bot uses the ISO-639-1 convention (two-letter language codes) as a basis. Apparently
Luxembourgish is entered as Letzeburgesch or Lëtzebuergesch in that list. Or you can use
#lb . Retweet with that.
The bot will always respond within 5 minutes; if it doesn't, your tweet didn't go
through.

Ah, okay. I didn't know about the ISO-639-1 convention. I realised that my tweet didn't go through this morning, that's why I asked.
Thanks a lot, Sprachprofi.

Sprachprofi,
Tok Pisin isn't in the 1-list, just the 2-list (as tpi). Should I tweet with #tpi? I tried #TokPisin but there was no response. Enjoying this a lot; only wish I didn't have those essays that set me back three days. Now to catch up!

I've just signed up for Arabic. A little added motivation never hurts. :)

I'm glad I joined this challenge. I've realised thanks to it, that I have been spending too little time on languages. I've never paid attention to how many minutes and how many times a day I have contact with French. Now I realise it was not that much and no surprise my improvement wasn't satisfying.

So - what will I write to get my Northern Sámi and Syriac/Assyrian/Suryoyo/Aramaic studies counted?
I could say Samoan in stead of Sami and Armenian in stead of Aramaic...
P.S. I experimented and found out that #se works for Sámi. I suppose I have to sacrifice Armenian...
