Guess Which Languages These Puzzle Terms Belong To
This quiz presents you with words/terms that are not English and that have meanings that are connected to the topic of puzzles in some way and you must guess which languages these words come from. The terms that have been chosen to be in this quiz for you to make a guess on are from languages that use the Latin alphabet. This is to allow the person that is participating in this quiz, who can presumably read English, to be able to read the words in this quiz that they have to make a guess on and also because there are many languages that use the Latin alphabet so it will not be easy to simply guess which one a word from this quiz comes from. I have tried to find words for this quiz that each only appear in one language for the meaning that is stated that they have in this quiz so you don't have to come up with more than one answer for each word. So test your knowledge of foreign languages with this quiz which can also be potentially a learning exercise for you and the knowledge you might gain from this quiz could also help you in a future quiz or maybe when abroad. A couple of hints to help you succeed in this quiz are that most of the terms in this quiz come from languages that are European and that some of these terms have symbols or markings over or under one or more of their letters which can help you to decipher which language the term is from.
