Identify the language.
Say where it is spoken (what country, continent or area). Say who speaks it (what race, people or ethnic group). Say what type of language it is, if you can identify it. Extra points for precision.
Example: Basque, spoken in NE Spain by Basques, language isolate not related to anything.

Oh, I suppose I didnt read the full post, and so I didnt realize I was supposed to give more info. Well, I think most of the answers should be obvious … e.g. if it’s spoken in Montana it’s going to be American Indians, Africa is Africans, and so on … as for the “types” of languages, Im not so well educated about that.
“17. Cahuilla — probably South America judging by spelling”
I don’t think its south america. My gut tells me its Mexico – specifically Northern Mexico. I know that there’s a state there with a similar name (Coahuila, I belive), but I think I’ve heard this name involving an indigenous group in northern Mexico.
I think it is actually a Native Californian language spoken around Los Angeles.
Hey that’s great! All correct except for 13 and 17.
