It seems to me that then the "listed name" excludes languages with diacritics or non-Roman characters in the name, such as French, Spanish, Russian . . . my solution has 86 languages and I think it's "right." ;)

Can't tell if my solution was accepted on my reply post, adding it here again just in case!

As others have pointed out, I also received a different solution to task 3. When parsing out each individual spoken language across all movies, there are actually over 80 different languages. I'm unsure if the author of the challenge was only looking to receive the number of unique primary movie languages, but I thought this extra use of data cleansing and analytics practice was good for an Alteryx starter.

For my solution I went about using the ISO 639 1 language codes rather than the names, as was provided in the solution. Reason being that many of the written "Names" for the languages are erroneous and seem to be some code translation error.
