	Accept Colombo maybe? I can't spell that one at all.

	@dtro It accepts Kotte. You ought to be able to spell that at least. Really enjoying these quizes btw. Those 2 years of greek lessons finaly found a use :).

	I realize that on Sporcle Colombo is usually accepted, too. However, it seems a bit pointless to do that, when the Greek name most definitely says Sri Something Kotte ;)

	Got stuck on (New) Delhi/Dili and Dhaka/Doha for a while, but pulled through in the end. Could do with reducing the time I think.

	All that math and physics studies make Greek at least pronounceable...

	Only got 10 right my first time. I'm curious whether or not the old Greek name for Amman Jordan is there. Thought of that a bit late to look for it. BTW, the old name for Amnnan is the same as a major Eastern US city. The city of brotherly love, Philadelphia.

	Gave up after getting 40 the second time. I see Jakarta now, didn't think of it when I looked at the Greek. The inclusion of Moscow is definitely questionable and possibly Tbilisi, Yerevan and Baku. Amman is in here, not Philadelphia.

	While I do accept local names, former names are not included. The question of what countries are part of Asia follows Sporcle convention, i.e. all of the Caucasus is considered Asia while both Russia and Turkey are part of European as well as Asian quizzes.
