Langr
Langr is a a language guessing game. The concept of the game is similar to the Wordle variants, and is unique in its multimodality. Language samples are provided, and the user is meant to use the available evidence to guess the source language from which all that evidence comes. The user receives a better score for using less evidence.

Implementation
Implemented in vanilla JavaScript. We make use of many sources of data in order to create this game.
Spoken samples, sentence text, and other speaker metadata are sourced from Mozilla CommonVoice. Language metadata was mainly sourced from Glottolog, including a language’s family lineage. Phonetic transcriptions are generated using eSpeak. And the langcodes library helps to translate between each library using standard ISO 639‑3 codes.
