Countries that Start with T

What about Timor Leste?

In English, it is "East East", because the word "Timor" means "East".

If Ivory Coast is Cote Di'voire, shouldn't east timor be Timor Leste?

Not wanting to be fussy, but it's Cote D'Ivoire

To be even fussier, it's actually Côte d'Ivoire

No! Its not Ivory coast or Cote d'ivoire. Its Norsunluurannikko. Learn Finnish! :)

What have I started...?

When will you end it...?

In case you're still wondering, 3 years later: Cote D'Ivoire has indicated that the French version is its official name, even in other languages, it's not just a translation thing. Timor-Leste, however, can be translated into several languages, so in standard English terminology, it's East Timor.

This is an excessive amount of comments

I don't know, will it?

I think it will help

Actually it's that Betty White is older than sliced bread.

I'll throw one on the pile.

And just how old is sliced bread?

89 years. It was invented on July 7, 1928.

Do we receive any accolades for reading every reply?

Timor-Leste is, by its government's declaration, the same in every language (the only other countries in this category are Côte d'Ivoire and Cabo Verde).

Idea: have five comments in a month in a five-year-old comment chain.

I'll go ahead and contribute to this

And here's a third one because I care.

One last comment

We could use a few more

Ivory Coast is Обала Слоноваче, East Timor is Источни Тимор! :D

This thread contains a correction or suggestion for the Quizmaster

Of course this thread isn't done!

Agreed, Quizmaster please accept Coat of War

5 and a half years of a thread

The thread can not be finished. We will fight for Oost Timor and Ivoorkust. Get your Dutch on people.

You may need to update your numbers, Josh. I wouldn't have guessed such a benign quiz could generate this amount of one-thread feedback :)

What about Texas? ;-) (may as well be)

Tibet too :P

not a country anymore

Free Tibet! (With the purchase of another Tibet of equal and/or greater value)

Isnt that in Canada? :)

Interestingly enough, it used to be a country, but not anymore. And, no, Texas is not in Canada, but rather is now part of the United Alliance of Kyrgyzstan. :)

Are you sure that isn't the United Alliance of Cowgyzstan?

And both part of Kyrgyzstan.

Wrong Quiz website thecoolestdude

texas isnt a country

HAHA he thinks you're serious! I'm dying here :D

Go Texas!

not a country anymore

Odd--I got Togo at the last second, for 10/11, but it tells me my high score is 9.

missed my favorite country in the world. :(

Which is that?????

In one of his "Are you too dumb to live" quizzes, I think he says Thailand

yes. Got it this time around, though.

I could happily live out my days in the north of Thailand.

what about Tibet?

I believe Tibet is now Bhutan?

No, Tibet is an area of China north of Nepal and Bhutan

Yeah its china

Never heard of that annexation. But who knows, the mighty Bhutanese Empire will soon rise and be 100x bigger than the Mongol Rmpire.

Area of the Mongol Empire at maximum extent: 9.27 million square miles. 100x bigger than the Mongol Empire: 927 million square miles. Area of Earth: 197 million square miles. That's quite the empire!

Tahiti is part of French Polynesia, a territory of France.

Tahiti is french

Tahiti is a part of French Polynesia, which is part of France. If anything, it'd be French Polynesia that should be seeking independence.

The People's Democratic Republic of North Korea?

The United States of America?

The Canada?

USA doesn't have the in its official name, so if you're nitpicking, you failed.

The Bahamas and The Gambia has the in their official names. It does, however, not coutn in the alphabitcally order. It's like if you take a list of misicias. The Beatles will be under 'B' and not 'T'.

I kept thinking Tallahassee -_-

Kind of funny that El Salvador is on the "E" quiz, not the "S" quiz, but The Gambia is on the "G," not the "T" quiz. I guess Spanish articles are special.

Arabic ones, too... Algeria.

Because the country is called "The Savior" and not "Savior"

Yes, and the Gambia is called "the Gambia," not "Gambia." I believe that was beekash's point.

Thought I was cool for knowing Turkmenistan after doing a project on it a few years ago. Guess I was wrong. Oh well :)

Many people learn all the "stans" after doing a few of these quizzes since they come up so often.

uuhh...I need a map

Just pull up a map from the internet, though that'd be cheating.

5/11 . Has anyone tried my Timmy Failure quiz ?

i missed the most common one... turkey

Guess what flag that is on the quiz header.

Lol I missed Taiwan

And isn't it great to see Taiwan on this quiz??

Yes it is :) Taiwan FTW

Tibet is not an area of China; it was a country until the Chinese occupation in the 1950's :/

missed trinidad :(

What about Tatooine?

What about Thneedville?

Got all but togo and tunisia

Almost missed Turkey but finally got full marks with 1:01 to go

The Gambia? The Bahamas?

I was halfway typing through "Togo". I literally typed "to" and then time ran out!

I only got 4

i got togo in the last second!!

I insist, Burma should be listed as Myanmar.

Damn. This comment section is golden. NERD HUMOUR!

7 out of 11!

Well, I'm taking a very wild guess and saying you're Chinese. Am I right?

What? No Trindad and Tobago!?

Trinidad and Tobago, sure! Trindad and Tobago, no

turks and caicos???

UK overseas territory.

Its a good quiz

0:49

100% with 0:49 remaining on my first try!

1:20 left!

To me, Timor-Leste should be counted, I do not understand why it isn't accepted.

Think you should have include "The" Gambia

You want to be careful saying Taiwan is a country. The Chinese government will threaten to block your site.

I'm curious how many hits we get from China. I don't know if it's accurate but I just checked on some website to see if Jetpunk was blocked there already and it says that it is not.

I strongly agree. Jetpunk.com is a great website. I invest a lot of my free time into this wonderful site. Thank you!

Could Trinidad & Tobago be accepted as TAT? That would go a bit faster, because I was not really great in time the first time I tried this quiz and struggled getting Trinidad & Tobago in time.

I feel like The Gambia's official name is The Gambia, which starts with T. But perhaps I am wrong. "According to the CIA World Factbook, the US Department of State, the Times Comprehensive Atlas of the World and the Permanent Committee on Geographical Names for British Official Use, the Gambia is one of only two countries whose self-standing short name for official use should begin with the word "The" (the other one being The Bahamas)." Wikipedia Thank you for the excellent quiz.

Please help me by taking my quizzes I need more support. I make quizzes regularly

sadly I got 45%

Almost missed Taiwan
