The 28 languages in the skribbl.io menu
The room language menu has 28 options for prompt vocabulary. It does not translate custom words or establish an interface translation.
Research notes
I copied the option labels from the live select on 13 October 2026. English, German, Bulgarian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, Estonian, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Macedonian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovakian, Spanish, Swedish, Tagalog, and Turkish. Hindi, Arabic, Indonesian, and Chinese are not in that list.
Community word files checked here
The Word Bank and skribbliohints provide English (3,692), German (3,978), French (3,788), Spanish (2,338), and Korean (2,248). Their checked files do not cover the other 23 room word languages; that does not establish that no other public lists exist.
Portuguese is one menu item, without a separate Brazilian Portuguese option. The 2022 News mentions new Russian and Japanese words, which is not a published dictionary. Our Turkish, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, Indonesian, and Polish examples are independent custom-room selections.

Questions
Can I play with Hindi words?
Hindi is absent from the room word-language menu. You can use our Roman Hindi sample as custom words and enable Use custom words only.
Does the menu translate custom words?
No. It selects the room's built-in prompt vocabulary. Your custom prompts remain as entered.
