(was misled over the 'most native speakers' question by a vague memory that English no longer tops the list. Which is true, but not relevant.)
I knew English didn't, but was tripped up by the available selection of alternatives. So, yeah.
What does it say about the setter that they ask about High Valyrian but not Sindarin?
I was also surprised, but interpreted it to mean that more readers would be expected to recognize Westeros than Middle-Earth. To be fair, I'm not sure that I know how to say hello in Sindarin, either. I just think I might have had a better shot at an educated guess, whereas I know linguistically zilch about High Valyrian.
