I didn’t see Native American languages such as Inupiaq. That is the language I grew up with…a mixture of English and Inupiaq, so broken English. 😁 And, then, at 4yrs old Spanish.

Funny you mention that cus I was looking for sign language and didn't see it listed nowhere. And I really do communicate with the deaf in sign language and translate for my fellow Englishmen and women. And sucks you can only choose one language.

If you get your result, you can press "?" and get the explanation. For Singaporean, it says that it is very similar to the Standard English language.
