Iceland's official language is ... Icelandic!
I'm not entirely sure what they were doing on Jeopardy! tonight, but one of the categories was "National Languages".
Iceland = ?So the same guy answered the first three: the first one was "Icelandic?" and the second was "Bulgarian?" with a kind of "Is this a trick, no, jeeze, it's probably Bulgar" tone, and the third was "Lithuanian??" with a real question in his voice, definitely "This has to be a trick!" So then the fourth one, the woman rang in and said "Greek?", which is wrong, and the guy said, "What is ... Macedonian?" like he'd never heard of it but, come on, surely, could it be? Which of course it was.
Bulgaria = ?
Lithuania = ?
Macedonia = Albanian and ?
Lichtenstein = ?
But if the writers were hoping for a "Lichtensteinian" they didn't get it. "German" was immediately and almost relievedly pronounced, by the same contestant who'd said "Greek".
It was ... bizarre.
