Longing for the day jetpunkers finally understand Greece in Greek is Ellada and not Hellas.

Technically speaking, Timor-Leste, Côte d'Ivoire, and Cabo Verde are the names of their respective countries in all languages, so none of them should be included on this quiz.

Fun quiz!

Davanagari is not a language. It is a script. Nepal's hint should probably be Nepali.

Ribaberiki translates to "Republic" in Gilbertese. The name in Gilbertese is Kiribati

Romanizing Россия as Rossiâ is an interesting convention; I've never seen that before.

Also:

Kosova is Albanian (the majority language in the country), while Kosovo is Serbian.

Surinaams is Surinamese, Surinaam (no s) is Suriname.

"République Gabonaise" is colloquially known as "Gabon" like any other country, and has no reason to be described that way here unlike the Congos.

Nice quiz! One typo I noticed: Papua Niugini (Papua New Guinea) is misspelled as Papua Giugini.

Fun quiz but needs some fixing, as earlier commenters have pointed out. A typo you might want to change: 'Lëtezebuerg' should be 'Lëtzebuerg'.
