300 for me, though I'm not sure there's any shame in mistaking Czech for Serbian. I did about the same in a couple of retakes.
What I thought was interesting was that in some cases I could distinguish the language or language family immediately -- so I could tell it was a Slavic language, even if I didn't know Serbian from Polish, say. In others, I had no clue. If the choice were Polish or Tamil, that was easy. But Tamil or Basque? Hopeless.
Hebrew, French, and Welsh were the three I was certain of when I heard them.
