That is fun, thanks.
There is a wrong answer, though-- it claimed that "Proto-Nostratic" was the hypothetical ancestor to all human languages. That's not right... maybe that's what is standard in Russian philology, though I doubt even that. Nostratic is supposed to be about 15,000-20,000 years old and include most of Eurasia but not other parts of the world. (On the other hand, the other terms weren't specifically familiar to me, though "Proto-Terran" seemed closest.) The other answers seemed right.
Well, it's a quiz app. There's always going to be things a bit off. I was playing the grammar game the other day and there's enough stuff in there to send a linguist insane that is based on misconceptions and lacking the true story. You can't judge it with the sames standard you would an academic theory or a paper. It's just a bit of fun.
It was clear what the question was getting at, though perhaps the wording could have been better. I have been surprised with the level of clear questions though, especially determining the relationships between sub-fields of linguistics and the major players in the game.
Edit: regarding Tok Pisin - are you sure? I was told at university it came from
talk business / business speech or something relating to that area. That would correlate with the same thing as Talk Business in my mind. In any case, there is a way to flag incorrect stuff and report it at the bottom at the end of a game. Clean it up so it's factually accurate
