The following is a non-exhaustive, but growing, list of standardized tests that assess a person's language proficiency of a foreign/secondary language. Various types of such exams exist per many languages—some are organized at an international level even through national authoritative organizations, while others simply for specific limited business or study orientation.

"As Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and is not a directory, repository of links, or means of promotion, and should not contain indiscriminate lists, only certain types of list should be exhaustive. Criteria for inclusion should factor in encyclopedic and topical relevance, not just verifiable existence...


==[[Bulgarian language|Bulgarian]]==
"Every entry in the list fails the notability criteria. These lists are created explicitly because most or all of the listed items do not warrant independent articles: for example, List of Dilbert characters or List of paracetamol brand names. Such lists are almost always better placed within the context of an article on their "parent" topic. Before creating a stand-alone list consider carefully whether such lists would be better placed within a parent article."

8. Lastly, there are times when a person attempting to address a maintenance template that flags some fundamental matter may find that the issue cannot actually be addressed. For example, if an article is flagged as lacking citations to reliable, secondary sources, written by third-parties to the topic, and a user seeing the maintenance templates discovers that such sources appear not to exist, that usually means the article should be deleted. In such cases, it is not so much that the template does not belong and should be removed, but rather that flagging the page for maintenance will never address the more critical issue that the page itself does not belong on Wikipedia at all."

===[[Hokkien]]===
The Business Language Testing Service is provided by Cambridge English Language Assessment, whose language exams are widely recognized by universities and other institutions around the world. Although BULATS assesses the test takers' knowledge and proficiency at using Business English rather than their overall English skills, the same is true of exams on the list for other languages, such as the Japanese Business Proficiency Test, or JBT, which is included under the list of Japanese exams.
* MSC - Minnanhua Shuiping Ceshi ({{zh|s=闽南话水平测试|t=閩南話水平測試|poj=Bân-lâm-ōe Chúi-pêng Chhek-chhì|l=Hokkien Level Test}}). This is the first, and the only one for now, official standardized test of a [[variety of Chinese]] other than Mandarin in mainland China. It is a speaking test with four parts: reading out words, sentences, a passage and speaking on a topic. There is no preferred dialect of Hokkien for the test; any dialect may be used as long as the pronunciation is proper in that dialect. The first test was held in [[Xiamen]] on 19 November 2016 to select future examiners, and so it was only for people in the education, broadcasting and cultural sectors who have received prior trainings.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.xmnn.cn/xmnn/2016/11/20/100125859.shtml|title=厦门第一期闽南话水平测试举行 老厦门人都说"难"|date=20 November 2016|accessdate=8 December 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.toutiao.com/i6298867917450641921/|title=要考好闽南话有秘诀？猛戳这里，值得收藏的闽南话水平测试宝典！|date=22 June 2016|accessdate=8 December 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_1564302|title=福建将推闽南话水平等级测试，以纯正度评判、录音方式考核|date=19 November 2016|accessdate=8 December 2016}}</ref> The first test open to the public was held on 9 and 10 December 2017 in [[Xiamen]] and a free 2-day pre-test training was provided to test-takers.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.xmyywz.com/m/list!newsDetail.do?newsId=1738|title=关于举办闽南话水平测试及考前培训的通知|author=厦门市语言文字工作委员会办公室|date=8 November 2017|accessdate=21 January 2018}}</ref>

* General Taiwanese Proficiency Test (GTPT) is a standardized proficiency test for speakers of Taiwanese designed by the Center for Taiwanese Languages Testing at [[National Cheng Kung University]], Tainan, Taiwan. In addition to GTPT, there is another International Taiwanese Proficiency Test (ITPT) for speakers of Taiwanese as a second language.<ref>[http://ctlt.twl.ncku.edu.tw/ Center for Taiwanese Languages Testing, NCKU]</ref>

According to the list, UCF offers a bunch of language courses. However, it appears that UCF is merely proctoring some other testing service's tests. But when I search for the "real" originator of the tests, I fail to come up with something definitive. However, it looks like BYU might be the originator of the tests. (https://flats.byu.edu/flatsinfo.php) While as a UCF alumni, I like seeing UCF all over the list, should those references be changed to something like "The Foreign Language Achievement Testing Service of BYU offers tests in a variety of languages which are administered at a variety of universities."

  • MSC - Minnanhua Shuiping Ceshi (simplified Chinese: 闽南话水平测试; traditional Chinese: 閩南話水平測試; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Bân-lâm-ōe Chúi-pêng Chhek-chhì; lit. 'Hokkien Level Test'). This is the first, and the only one for now, official standardized test of a variety of Chinese other than Mandarin in mainland China. It is a speaking test with four parts: reading out words, sentences, a passage and speaking on a topic. There is no preferred dialect of Hokkien for the test; any dialect may be used as long as the pronunciation is proper in that dialect. The first test was held in Xiamen on 19 November 2016 to select future examiners, and so it was only for people in the education, broadcasting and cultural sectors who have received prior trainings.[15][16][17] The first test open to the public was held on 9 and 10 December 2017 in Xiamen and a free 2-day pre-test training was provided to test-takers.[18]
