Can you add more names for Genghis Khan? I tried Dengis, Djengis, Dzjengis and then Kublai and then thought: must've been another Khan then...

I've never seen any of those names in English before. He's fairly universally known as Genghis.

It's spelled Chinggis everywhere in Central Asia (and by many historians), that should at least be added.

That's not universal at all. For example in Sweden he's known as Djingis Khan.

It makes sense to accept alternative spellings of words that are originally not in the latin alphabet.

Great selection of questions! If you would have told me I could answer 15 questions about Kazakhstan correctly I would be laughing haha, I would think I would get 2, its capital and how it is spelled.

(I would have gotten 16, cause I new what was meant in the last question, I just could not come up with the (english) word space, sky and star was the closest thing my mind could make of it haha)

Missed the export, holiday, and the 2 remaining city questions

Nur-sultan has more former names likes Akmola or Tselinograd. Check it or be more precise.

If you know those two, you would most certainly try Astana as well? Sometimes we have to distinguish between all the things that could have been correct, and what we know the question is asking for.

I don't follow the name of Nur Sultan as well. Most people still call it Astana and some people do follow it, which is OK. But also, people don't, like said.

Even though the official name changed to Nur-Sultan, I quite like the previous name Astana. It has a nice ring to it.
