	I speak Macedonian and I was able to make out most of these, pretty cool!

	i got them all except utah. i was there for ages thinking... hm that's a gamma. what states begin with a G or K sound. ¬¬

	Id say this is all greek to me! (i really apologize for having to say that)

	It's interesting that the new in "new hampshire" is different from the new in "new york".

	NathanW197:	Jul 30th, 2011 at 04:53 GMT	-1 points
	Nice. Except did you mean to write "Alabama" as "Alambama"? (There are two "mu.")

	fantasysieger10:	Jul 30th, 2011 at 05:07 GMT	8 points
	Tried both "Norths" and then even the "News" before finally getting South Carolina. Tricky.

	dancastro:	Jul 30th, 2011 at 05:36 GMT	9 points
	@NathanW197: in Αλαμπάμα, the combination μπ (mu+pi) is used to represent the sound of "b". In Modern Greek, beta has the sound of "v", so if the state's name were spelled with a beta it would be pronounced "Alavama".

	Definitely a challenging one. You really learn your Greek alphabet after 5 years of studying physics.

	Riko:	Jul 30th, 2011 at 06:15 GMT	6 points
	Damn, I need to relearn the Modern Greek alphabet. I had an existential crisis when I came to "Ntelagouer", which I was trying to render as "(n)Te'lahg-wahr". Haha, great quiz!

	Utah never translates well...

	tsatsaroglou:	Jul 30th, 2011 at 07:35 GMT	9 points
	I guess some sort of automatic translator was used. Pity, so many mistakes and misspellings.

	Tennessee only one more character than Texas. What's up with that? Did everyone who took this quiz know Greek? From these comments, I'm afraid to look at the stats.

	cryptopian:	Jul 30th, 2011 at 10:53 GMT	3 points
	@ smartster, I do a physics based degree, so I know the names of most of the greek letters (even if one of my supervisors unironically calls zeta "squiggle"), and then a lot of guessing follows.
