First of all, let me define what I mean by "known" data types, a known data type is any data type listed at this page:

http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Data_Types


An "unknown" data type is any data type NOT listed there.
For example there's a data type QFont, or a data type QDir?

You won't find these on the wiki.


NOTE: Do not mistake an unknown data type for an enum!


Our mission is to find as many of these as we possibly can! Do you know of any? Can you find any?

1. I didn't report you, I was only joking.
2. I must correct you, we do not talk, we type/read. :P
3. How is that immature... If I did do it, then I would be FOLLOWING THE LAW.

Ahem, we do talk:

talk: speak in order to give information or express ideas or feelings.

speak: have a conversation.

nil and null are aliases that address the case where the VM doesn't associate a particular name (variable) with a place in memory.

nil is pretty much an abstraction of the null data type.

You never had any to begin with. /s

OP Anaminus (hopefully I spelled that correctly) has all of them (I think all of them) on his site.

I looked at the site, it doesn't look like it has all of them. I thought it did but it's still incomplete.
