	Great idea. Very fun, but could we maybe get a few extra minutes? Some of these are really tough to figure out. I thought I did really well but I only got 27.

	This is a badass quiz. I'm proud of my 25. The time's just right. Add any more time and it turns into a guessing game.

	conradmcmasters:	May 15th, 2010 at 04:37 GMT	3 points
	Solid quiz, another minute and I would have finished, maybe. I'll nominate it.

	Moldova is called "Moldawien" in German. "Moldau" only means the river, not the country. For Vatican City, "Vatican" should also be acceptable.

	Hate to be a pill, but don't Austrians speak regular ol' German?

	micah:	May 15th, 2010 at 08:22 GMT	13 points
	"Oekraine" is Dutch, right? You should probably say so...

	flixuk:	May 15th, 2010 at 09:55 GMT	-1 points
	haha this quiz is SWEET AS.

	gopaladins:	May 15th, 2010 at 13:42 GMT	3 points
	really good quiz. amazing that we would have so many different names for one place. you think it'd be easier if we all called countries by whatever the natives call it. weird.

	johnlk:	May 15th, 2010 at 15:10 GMT	11 points
	"Marine Saint" isn't an accurate translation of San Marino into English. "Saint Marinus" is how you'd translate it.

	ConorONeill:	May 15th, 2010 at 15:36 GMT	3 points
	This is a brilliant idea for a quiz

	rockgolf:	May 15th, 2010 at 15:40 GMT	9 points
	Excellent! Can I suggest Allemagne instead of Deutschland? It's the French word for Germany.

	jujuju:	May 15th, 2010 at 16:08 GMT	4 points
	Good quiz, but you forgot an "n" at the end of Romania, Croatia and Albania for the Kosovo, Liechtenstein and Latvia clues. Also, there is no specified language for the Ukraine clue.

	Hugh:	May 15th, 2010 at 16:43 GMT	7 points
	Why are some countries in random languages and others in their own languages? Good quiz nevertheless!

	ctbrainiacs:	May 15th, 2010 at 17:43 GMT	3 points
	Loved it. Really challenging.

	kypzethdurron:	May 15th, 2010 at 17:44 GMT	5 points
	May I suggest that we have the countries in their second language? So the UK would still be in Welsh, etc, but we wouldn't have either completely random languages or in their own language. Might make things more difficult for the easy ones and easier for the most difficult ones (and teach us second languages trivia at the same time)? Fantastic idea though! :)

	Penny:	May 15th, 2010 at 17:44 GMT	2 points
	Read the intro too fast and assumed these were the country names in their own languages and got very confused, especially the ones that sounded Welsh! Still, got 28 correct.

	opilyhonza:	May 15th, 2010 at 18:41 GMT	4 points
	Good quiz. One small correction, Rumunjska is not Czech for Romania, that would be Rumunsko. I believe Rumunjska is Croatian.

	There is no such thing as "Austrian."In Austria, they speak German. Österreich is German for Austria.

	Kosovari is not in Romanian. Kosovo in Romanian is Kosovo. Do your research.

	koopa08:	May 15th, 2010 at 23:31 GMT	-2 points
	28...apparently, I'm fluent in Filipino because I just guessed on France for that one :)

	This game has to notable features. 1) It's INSANE and 2) it ought to be published on the front page as soon as possible.

	Maybe change France to something else? All the others are European languages, so Filipino seems a little random!

	rca:	May 16th, 2010 at 19:46 GMT	1 point
	clever. I got 26!

	Esme:	May 16th, 2010 at 20:41 GMT	5 points
	Anghywir, @brapbrap. ;) 750,000 native speakers are cursing you out with a ton of Ls and Ys right now.

	Stingray:	May 16th, 2010 at 23:18 GMT	2 points
	"Sveta stolica" is not croatian for Vatican. It is for "Holly see", which is something different (episcopal jurisdiction). Other than that, great quiz - thanks.

	geowiz85:	May 16th, 2010 at 23:56 GMT	2 points
	this quiz is great...i hope other continents are on the way

	llewelynofwales:	May 17th, 2010 at 05:13 GMT	5 points
	Um, there is no such language as Austrian. They speak German

	abanazerb:	May 17th, 2010 at 21:48 GMT	5 points
	"Austrian" and "Marine Saint" bring this quiz down. Otherwise, very good.

	cmkcheer:	May 18th, 2010 at 21:31 GMT	1 point
	cool i like this quiz

	jnhickson:	May 18th, 2010 at 22:07 GMT	2 points

	SaraTheBrave:	May 19th, 2010 at 02:23 GMT	2 points
	That was a fun one! Do another continent!

	WCRoentgen:	May 20th, 2010 at 17:42 GMT	1 point
	Terrific quiz. But I really like kypzethdurron's suggestion.

	brickhaus77:	May 20th, 2010 at 19:23 GMT	1 point
	One big problem: at the top of the page, you specify "non English", but for san marino, you give an English translation. I also agree with the commenters who suggested being less random with the languages. I like the idea of the using a country's secondary language. Another possibility is to only limit it to languages of neighboring countries.

	nadivereb:	May 21st, 2010 at 15:15 GMT	1 point
	It's funny that Szlovákia is spelled correctly in Hungarian, while Magyarország is not. I think it would be better if every country was in a completely random language.

	gorman03:	May 21st, 2010 at 17:38 GMT	1 point
	Is there any reason why France is in Filipino when the rest of the countries are in European languages?

	Rooster:	Jul 13th, 2010 at 18:07 GMT	1 point
	San Marino in English would be Saint Marin, not Marine Saint
