Think you know the demographic makeup of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? Well, we'll see about that: Name the 10 languages most commonly spoken by LDS Church members. The first three are easy, given the church's well-known history in the United States and Latin and South America, including Brazil. If you know No. 4 or No. 5, or can even guess one of them, you probably work for the church or Brigham Young University — and that's cheating. Tsk, tsk.


Answers: 1. English. 2. Spanish. 3. Portuguese. 4. Tagalog. 5. Cebuano. 6. Japanese. 7. Ilokano. 8. Samoan. 9. Tongan. 10. Korean. (Tagalog, Cebuano and Ilokano are spoken in the Philippines.)
