Actually, it should be Nieuw Amsterdam... English language quiz or not! Paramaribo and Suriname and Amsterdam are in their original language, so why not Nieuw Amsterdam?
Because easily translatable words from worldwide known places are never kept in the original language: East Timor (and not Timor Leste), Saint Petersburg (and not Sankt Peterburg) or North Macedonia (and not Severna Makedonija)
Timor-Leste, Côte d'Ivoire and Cabo Verde are all accepted, but are also commonly used in English. Nieuw Amsterdam, Severna Makedonija and, to a lesser extent, Sankt Petersburg, are used less in English in favor of New Amsterdam (when talking about the Dutch settlement), North Macedonia and St. Petersburg.
French Guinea is now known as Guinea in English (Guinée in French) and is in Africa. French GUYANA, on the other hand, is in South America. Suriname was also called Dutch Guiana.
According to Wikipedia, people of Indonesian descent account for around 15% of the population, but people of Indian descent account for over 25%, as the quiz says.
I finally, finally remembered to do that this time around, and what's more, once "Amazon" didn't work for the river question, I knew where it was going, and I was all "Oh...I got you this time, quiz."
