Danish, Czech and Hungarian here. I got 450 but I think the TV's background noise may have done a number on me.

It's a cool game. I kept getting "Indonesian" wrong, even though bahasa Indonesia is related (though distantly) to my parent's first language. The Dutch influences kept throwing me.

I enjoyed this. It's cool to hear languages I've never encountered before.
