Top Spoken Languages: Oceania
Oceania's top languages by native speakers. Type as many as you can before time runs out.
Just start typing — a language is added the moment it's recognised, no need to press Enter. Ranked by native speakers. Papua New Guinea alone has around 840 languages, almost all with only a few thousand speakers, so a real top ten is not meaningful here — this list stops at six.

About Top Spoken Languages: Oceania
English leads, carried by Australia and New Zealand, ahead of Tok Pisin, Fijian, Samoan, Tongan and Maori.
Papua New Guinea alone is home to roughly 840 languages — more than any other country on Earth — but almost all of them have only a few thousand speakers, so none individually cracks a continent-wide top list the way a single Nigerian or Indian language can.
This list stops at six rather than ten for the same reason North America's does: past this point the ranking stops reflecting anything real and starts reflecting which obscure language a particular source happened to measure.
Scoring
Your score is how many of the 6 languages you name correctly before the 2 minutes run out. Ranked by native speakers. Papua New Guinea alone has around 840 languages, almost all with only a few thousand speakers, so a real top ten is not meaningful here — this list stops at six. Duplicates are ignored rather than counted twice, and stopping early locks in whatever you have found so far.
