How Sure Are We? Reconstructing the World's Language Families

Intermediate

Five questions on how confidently linguists can reconstruct a family tree, from the Uto-Aztecan and Turkic branches to the still-open question of Niger-Congo's own unity.

Taking a quiz requires an account, so that your attempts are counted against it and your score can be recorded.

Every quiz allows three practice attempts and three ranked attempts at each length.
