Twitch has 8 out of 18. There are no languages duplicated, by the way. Also, I had to correct one phase as I used the incorrect meaning, so "a nis" is now "an-dràsta."

Brian got 11 right. These are the ones people are having trouble with:

Itá
Nå
Núorðið
An-dràsta
Ngayón
Nunc
Ankehitriny

Of the list above, two are Scandinavian languages. All but two are native to islands or archipelagos. One is not spoken any longer. Four are Indo-European languages and three are Austronesian languages.
