It's missing 9/10 of the most popular Croatian surnames, or to be more generous 3/10 if you agree that the Anglicised version of Knežević etc. is the same name. IMO they are not the same.

It's likewise missing every Norwegian name containing æ, ø and å – of which there are a lot (some are included if you accept the aa representation of å, but the rest are still missing).
