Great quiz! Small nitpick, the kind of Chinese used in Taiwan is traditional Chinese, so it should be 臺灣 instead of the simplified version of 台湾.

Actually in Taiwan the 臺 is usually also simplified to 台, but the 灣 is kept the same.

The main language of Somalia is Somali, written in Latin script.

The Armenian language uses the Armenian script.

I was really confused about Armenia. I kept scrolling to look for the proper alphabet and it wasn't there.

Great quiz! I admit it wasn't as hard once I figured out that the arabic (or other scripts) names were still alphabetized as they would be in latin.

Yeahhhhhhhh this would be a better quiz if it excluded all the ones that are exactly the same. There's no point to those! Just grey box them and make them filled in from the start.

Shouldn't Vatican City be in Latin?

Bit nitpicky, but shouldn't the scripts be consistent? I see some languages like Dhivehi and Tamazight being written in Latin, despite having their own scripts used

I do think this is a cool idea though, good job!

Great quiz! Nominated.

However, I was a little confused by Algeria not appearing in Arabic or at least in a more traditional transliteration like al-Jazair...

That's one of the easier ones for me to find out is just probably straight up wrong, slowly working on the others though

It's not Arabic, it's Jawi script which is an Arabic script used to write Malay languages and recognised in Brunei.

Great quiz. But I would like to suggest a few corrections. Seychelles for example should be Sesel in Creole Seychellois.

Mauritius (my country) could be written as Moris (Mauritian Creole), however you could use Maurice or Mauritius as well. This is because Mauritius does not have an official language. But Mauritian Creole is our lingua franca, and both French and English are very widely used in our day to day life.

Nominated.

great quiz! Would be cool if it included multiple names for countries with multiple official languages.

Edit: just found out Bolivia has 37 official languages, so that might be a reason why.

North Korea would be 조선인민주의 공화국 not 조선 as 조선 is a name of the first dynasty of Korea. For South Korea, it would be more appropriate to put 대한민국 instead of 한국 as the word given in the quiz is an abbreviation of the official name.

But the quiz isn't about official names, otherwise all the answers would be much longer (like People's Republic of China - 中华人民共和国, or Arab Republic of Egypt - جمهورية مصر العربية ). Therefore I don't think it should be changed.
