LingYourLanguage

LingYourLanguage is a collaborative effort to bring the world’s languages to a wider audience in an entertaining, engaging way. In this game you listen to a short snippet of someone speaking and then guess what language is being spoken. You can play alone or with a friend (mode Multiplayer).

The project began at a hostel in Prague, Czech Republic, where visitors began contributing their languages to the LingYourLanguage collection. It soon spread to family, friends, acquaintances, friends of friends, and so on, and links together people and cultures.
