Name the most widely spoken language of an Asian country

What we would type in 25 seconds — rarity × spelling speed, not a dump of the public list.

25-second pick · +100

Dzongkha One in a Krillion

8 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 35 accepted answers on the sheet

Go past the first country or city a classroom map would show. We would type Dzongkha: One in a Krillion, +100, 8 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Arabic, Hindi, Japanese, or Korean — those are Plankton. It is also the One in a Krillion on this sheet, so the rare pick and the typeable pick are the same.

Skip Arabic · Hindi · Japanese · Korean
