Great idea! Could you write in the instructions that "Y" is considered a consonant, and perhaps credit this very silimar version as well? :)

Yikes, I didn't see scambigol's one! It does have just two small differences. I will check in with him about this, and in the meantime I've credited him and his quiz.

thanks for the credit, ok with me also as the two differences aren't that small!

Is Y a consonant in some language? If it is, this is a very VERY strange world. There is no way that Cyprus, Syria or Kyrgyzstan has 2 consonants in the beginning. Just say those and you know.

Although y is generally a consonant, it is sometimes treated as a vowel. We've put a note in the instructions that, in this quiz, a consonant is anything that's not an a, e, i, o or u.

I once made Y a consonant only when it should have been on "Countries with Two Vowels". I got tons of complaints as to what was a consonant and what wasn't, which led to pronunciation problems and much more! For every other of my two vowels quizzes (most of that list), I stuck to "Y" as a consonant only. Didn't get any complaints!

Can someone please tell me how "Kyrgyzstan" only has one vowel in it, and it has a chain of 8 consonants, none of which look like they should be together?

I personally think it's stupid, and Kirgizstan would make way more sense. The reason is that the country's actual spelling is Кыргызстан, and English transliterators prefer to use a "y" for "ы" because there's another Russian letter, "и", that sounds very similar to English ears for which "i" is written as the equivalent. (ы is a single letter, despite being written in two separate pieces).

Added, thanks. When this quiz was first written, the name Burma was more commonly used on Jetpunk.
