What is the chance of accepting T(h)rakia for Thrace? I know about the "English website - English quiz - English names" rule, but still... This is the name of the region in 2 of the 3 listed countries. In the third (Greece) it's Thraki.

This is an American website.

America doesn't care about other languages or cultures.

You'll have to learn English names for EVRYTHING, like I had to.

No, Gaelic and Scots are two completely different languages.

I have to say I'm surprised if that really is the case that 2.5% of the UK population speaks Scots. Assuming most are in Scotland, and given Scotland has only 8.4% of the UK's population, that would mean nearly 30% of Scots speak the Scots language, which I find very difficult to believe.

Scots is Scottish English, not Scottish. That's why the number is so high.

Scottish English isn't the same as Scots. Scots is a separate language that remains much closer to its Germanic origin than English. Scottish English is just English with a different accent, like American and Australian English. Just go to the "Scots language" page on Wikipedia. It says "not to be confused with Scottish English".

Gets more confused. Many people living in Scotland are not Scottish and I believe something like 850k people born in Scotland live in England. But actually I am surprised that the answer to the relevant question as put was not Hindi or Urdu.

Welsh is far more spoken than Scots,it's a well known misconception that ,, many many lied on a census , in reality it's closer to 3 than 30%

Agree absolutely. I'm Scottish and I know people who speak Gaelic, and people who speak Weegie, but I've never heard anyone speak Scots in its true definition.

Can you accept lesvos for lesbos as it's often spelt it that way. I was stuck on the question for ages because I kept putting in 'lesvos'

Good quiz though :P

Never seen it spelt that way once. I imagine Greeks pronounce it "lesvos", but it's always spelt with a B or a Beta.

Actually, if you Google it -- you will see it as Lesvos, as well. On the official Visit Greece site, it's with a V too. Both are (or have been made) acceptable.

True, you can definitely spell it both ways.

There's enough examples for either spelling online.

I tried "Scottish" for the second most spoken language in the UK and it didn't work.

And it will stay that way. The dialect is called Scots, not Scottish. Even allowing Scots is pushing it since it's probably just a dialect of English.

You can remove "The" from Autobahn. Unless you want to add an article everywhere it applies (answer #3 for example).

You would be right about Cumbrian, or Cumbric, 900 years ago. Also, are you referring to Welsh English or Welsh in your comment? They are rather different.

Enjoyed the quiz. To be nitpicking: the direction of the Bosporus is more north-south than east-west. Also, while Bosphorus is not wrong, most dictionaries prefer Bosporus (without the h).

I think this quiz is the closest I've seen QM come to accepting the fact that Cyprus is in Europe...
