	Might be "Ciudad" - not "Cuidad"... But nice idea anyway!

	I like the idea, but with those languages that use different alphabets or even just have some additional diacritical marks, the transliteration into an group of letters that would be pronounced similarly by someone using english-type letter pronunciations leaves a lot of options. Also, for instance with Moscow, the cyrillic looks to those particular letters are available...MOCKBA...which I tried first, not thinking.

	I like the idea, change the title of the quiz to something along the lines of "Names of Cities in Their Native Language". Very good quiz.

	I knew all of the Arabic names, but couldn't get them because of the transliteration you used. I usually see Alexandria written as Al Iskandariyah (or something like that). I second the "cuidad" point. Unless you're trying to warn people away from Mexico...

	Sorry, forgot to mention: Those points aside, I really do like the idea!

	it's 'Ciudad de Mexico' and yeah, I can't write the foreign characters either.

	I'd take the Arab cities off. Algiers (al-jaza'er) and Alexandria (al-isakanderiyya) are to subjective. Transliterations are rarely accurate between Arabic and English. Also, "Ciudad" like everyone else said.

	This quiz would be better the opposite way.

	Please copy-paste: København - it is the correct form of the city, that most Norwegians and Danes would use. I would still keep the 'O', anyway.
