There is no limit on other yes-or-no guesses. There is no time limit on guesses. You may make them as cl...

Re: Name That Language!

What are this round's rules regarding guessing language families, round duration and whatnot? I figured it was implied they were the same as the last time.

Re: Name That Language!

I’ll put up a text soon. Are non-standard varieties fair game if the language in question’s standardized?
