"Langr" is a language guessing game, similar to other Wordle variants, and is unique for its multimodality. The game provides a sample of a given language of the day, revealing more clues about that sample as the game goes on:

    Audio -> Phonetic -> English -> Family -> Written

Your job is to use a list of world languages to identify the language behind the sample.

The inspiration came after one-too-many-times of hearing a random language on the street and not being able to confirm what it was...

Spoken samples, sentence text, and other speaker metadata are sourced from the open-source Mozilla CommonVoice. Language metadata was mainly sourced from Glottolog, including a language's family lineage. Phonetic transcriptions are generated using eSpeak. English translations needed to be generated by Google Translate. The langcodes library helps to translate between each library using standard ISO 639‑3 codes.

Hope you enjoy! Feel free to try out today's game as well as some from the previous few months.
