There are, but if you exclude the languages in the featured quiz and this sequel, and throw out the ones that are super easy, then you are looking at about a dozen more languages from India and China, and then hundreds that nobody has ever heard of that are spoken by less than 1% of the world's population.
Your link says that to refer to Irish as Gaelic is controversial! Plus the Irish government are clear about the English name of the language, it's Irish and not Gaelic. And 'Fitheach' is a Scots Gaelic word: it would suggest he/she knew what he/she was talking about!
Being controversial doesn't mean something is wrong. In fact, if someone is insisting that one position or another on a controversial subject is the only correct interpretation, there's a not-insignificant chance that they are themselves wrong. Though there do exist controversies where one side is just objectively, factually wrong (for instance, whether or not the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump could be called "controversial"), this doesn't appear to be one of those situations.
For variety, you could add in an indigenous language or three from the Americas? A few ideas: I think there is a Mayan language that still has a couple million speakers in Guatemala, or there's always rQuechua. A northerly language like Inuit or Aleut. Maybe some North American language that's vaguely recognizable, like Zuni, Algonquin, Yaqui, Iroquois, or Lakota? Other languages that popped in my mind that, as far as I remember, were not used in the first quiz include: Hittite, Aramaic, Neapolitan, Flemish, Malagasy, Monégasque. Erm... that's all I got!
Actually, nope, I checked and none of those were on the first quiz. Maybe there are enough to squeeze out a part 3, after all. Are there still native speakers of Aramaic and Hittite? The instructions call for the country with the most native speakers, not the country where the language originated. I'd have to look it up.
I made a part 3 finally. Doing research for it I found that Mayan is not considered a language but a language group; however I added a couple Mayan languages. It's a little confusing sometimes because people are getting so f'ing PC about everything that they like to describe different dialects as distinct languages now, arguing that calling them dialects is somehow imperialist or derogatory or whatever. SMH So.. I ran in to that issue with Inuit and Aleut and a number of other languages you suggested. Interestingly I found that the majority of speakers of Inuit-related languages are actually in Greenland so the answer for that is Denmark not Canada or the US. Algonquin and Iroquois are other language groups not languages, according to what I found, but I stuck on Navajo. Hittite is extinct. Aramaic has several modern versions. And I left off rQuechua if that's a thing, too similar to Quechua.
Well I got 26, but failed on Dari, which I thought was a variant of Farsi, so kept putting Iran. Is it in the Persian language group?
You could try Aramaic. it is still spoken by a few groups in the middle east, but you might need to see if there are more in either UK or USA. There must be loads of African languages - and just becasue we are ignorant, that does not mean they should not be put in.
