Joining a bit too late, going for a five, one answer is correct and works with three (well there is probably a lot that do that).

I might, have submitted a five (hopefully) for the end of Selwink's tenure and might go for the win or keep being creative next game.

1 Nyulnyulan
5. Name a language spoken by less than 10 million people

A nice round anyway, even though I HAD to go with Brindisinian and as I'm a drunkard I answered Chinese. Would have been a perfect round, still a quite meh final ranking for me.

Nice to have secured an overall victory once more, after taking some time for 5 pointers recently. Do I need to host now or is that for someone else?

Congrats Dippofix and thanks to Selwink for hosting.
I guess the next host should create a new thread - it's 2015 now.

I actually thought of Romance but decided on Latin languages, which is practically the same but just includes the Anglo-Saxon ones.
Unfortunately I had to miss two rounds due to bad luck. Maybe it'll go better next game.
