Lingule

A language-identification puzzle. A word is shown with its romanisation, IPA pronunciation and meaning, and six guesses are allowed to name its language. Each wrong guess reveals whether the macro-area, family, subfamily and genus match, plus a compass direction toward where the answer is spoken. Language data comes from the World Atlas of Language Structures.
