	The balance for this quiz will never be correct because of the random order use. The real URL is: http://www.omniglot.com/countries/europe.htm I have included teh regions if the UK to make the quiz have exactly 50 answers. I am not sure on the time but I think 6:00 will suffice. Any queries just comment. Enjoy!

	nynorsk and bokmaal are the languages, norge and noreg are the country names. at least, that is how the rest of the countries are done I think

Comment below threshold: show it

	@Chacho: If you check the REAL link in my comment you would find yourself to be incorrect. @Lpw88: No because the objective is to decipher the country name by the local language.

	And for Makedonija, you should write in cyrylic not in latin transcription. So, Македонија not Makedonija.

	@WackyZacky - no, you're absolutely wrong, and the REAL link in your comment demonstrates that you are wrong.

	Why is the Cyrillic name given for Bosnia, a country where the majority use the Latin alphabet, but the Latin is used for Serbia and Macedonia?

	@Johnlk comment 2: I don't know I just went with the REAL link ( if you can find it I'll be very greatful.) @Johnlk comment 1: Another link to shut you up- http://www.starpulse.com/news/media/sdsulogofeat.jpg or- http://www.richardgoodallgallery.com/rggstore/images/shutup_purp.jpg

	@Ehrlich: Done.

	Hazl:	Jul 22nd, 2010 at 13:02 GMT		4 points
	WackyZacky: speaking as a Norwegian, that's wrong. It's supposed to be Norge or Noreg. Bokmål and Nynorsk are the two official written languages, along with Saami in certain areas.

	I can accept England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, but Cornwall??

	WackyZacky:	Jul 22nd, 2010 at 13:33 GMT		-3 points
	@Hazl: Changed. @Nadivereb: Cornwall is a region of england which has its own language. I just thought it would be interesting for other people.

	nadivereb:	Jul 22nd, 2010 at 14:30 GMT		3 points
	@wackyZacky: Okay, but what about all the Spanish, French, Russian etc. regions with their own languages?

	HiddenPalace:	Jul 22nd, 2010 at 14:53 GMT		1 point
	Slipped up on Cornwall. Had a feeling it was a Celtic language, even tried the Isle of Man... quite good this quiz but the above point is valid.

	dancastro:	Jul 22nd, 2010 at 15:29 GMT		3 points
	Excellent quiz! By the way, shoudn't Russia, Ukraine and Serbia be written in Cyrillic instead of Latin alphabet? Or are in those countries some minority language that uses the Latin script? Maybe in Serbia, but I think that both Russia and Ukraine use only Cyrillic.

	dancastro:	Jul 22nd, 2010 at 15:31 GMT		2 points
	Sorry. I intended to type "shouldn't".

	WackyZacky:	Jul 22nd, 2010 at 19:23 GMT		1 point
	@Dancastro, I am pleased you like it. Changed the countries into their Cyrillic form. @Naivereb, Done as asked.

	Despite whether or not Cornwall, Wales, Northern Ireland, or England have their own languages, they are still not countries of their own. If you still want to include them, change the name from countries because those are not countries. If you want to keep the name of the quiz, find some others and decide on one language for the UNITED KINGDOM. :)

	@Mancalagal: I can't fit European Countries or Regions by local languages in as the game title, so have had to use it as the Can you name the... title. I still want to keep them all though as the UK has too many different ways of saying United Kingdom because of different regions of the country.

	Could you also change Greece into Greek script?

	cantthinkofaname:	Jul 22nd, 2010 at 22:59 GMT		2 points
	Why isn't Greece's name in Greek text?

	Stewart:	Jul 23rd, 2010 at 01:04 GMT		3 points
	I don't understand why you have picked a single language for some countries that have several (the majority language for one but a very small minority language for another) but then listed two or three alternatives for others. It would be better to be consistent.

	Moldova uses Latin script, not cyrillic.

	mancalagal:	Jul 23rd, 2010 at 20:57 GMT		1 point
	@WackyZacky Could you at least make a note that says that there are some regions that aren't sovereign countries? I'm only trying to help.

	aphobicsteve:	May 31st, 2012 at 01:50 GMT		1 point
	This quiz is very inconsistent... What regions are listed? Wales, Cornwall, Scotland and Northern Ireland. What could have been added: Basque Country/Euskadi, Galicia, Catalonia, Valencia, Castile-Leon, Extremadura... and that's only in Spain! I know for a fact that Russia, France and Italy all have at least half a dozen minority languages with their own regions, and I know that others also have more. You even used the Breton language, but didn't decide to use it for "Brittany", and instead for France? Also, Ellas/Elláda should be in the Greek script: Ἑλλάς/Ελλάδα. And the fact you used babelfish makes me want to cry/laugh. There are plenty of resources--even Wikipedia--that's more reliable than babelfish.
