Nice idea, but I'm unsure by some of the answers so it would be nice to see a source. How about Antwerp (pop 460,000) and Kuala Lumpur (pop 7,200,000)?

And Mexico City goes under "Y" but New York falls under "K?" Is that consistent with their official names?

Zagreb for B? Population seems to be in the 800k range...

New York/Mexico City seem fine, but Seoul? C'mon...

CityMayors lists the names as "Mexico City" and "New York". Kuala Lumpur is only listed at around 1.4 million there, so Salvador is significantly of ahead of that. Below the 400-rank mark, I had to switch over to Mongabay to find the more obscure letters. That site lists Antwerp as "Antwerpen". Zagreb was a genuine mistake and has been fixed.

A very good idea and a cool new twist of the world's largest cities.

Antwerp is the standard name for that city at Sporcle. Regardless of how the source spells it, that's the way we spell it here.

It lists Antwerp as "Antwerpen" because that is the name of the city in Dutch. But you listed all of your other answers in English, so to leave it out on that basis is inconsistent. For that matter, so is listing the City of Mexico as "Mexico City" but not adding the "City" to either New York or Quebec. And is Istanbul really bigger than Seoul?

Can't see the problem with Mexico City and New York. The "city" in New York and Quebec is not really that commonly used, but Mexico City has always been "Mexico City". Inconsistency with languages should be fixed though. I'd say all Sporcle games should use English translations unless otherwise noted. Fix Seoul and you've got yourself a nice quiz!

Dusseldorf is spelled wrong.

Nice idea. I typed in Essen and got Dusse(l)dorf... which normally would make sense, but since Essen does not end in f, it probably shouldn't count!

It would be a lot simpler if the different sources agreed with each other. A comparison between CityMayors and CityPopulation, for urban areas, gives Guangzhou at 3.9 resp 22.4 millions. That's a ridiculously large discrepancy, but who to believe?.

I agree that Antwerp should not be Antwerpen here. It's moot, however, as I think Gaziantep (at well over a million) would take the P category.
