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.

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).

if we're including Scots (as in not Gaelic), can we also have Brummie, Scouse, Geordie, Cockney, Brizzle, Cumbrian, Manc, Yorkshire, Welsh, etc etc....................

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.

Most of these are English accents. Welsh is a completely different language distinct (and far older) than English.

Scottish is a dialect, it's asking for the language, which is called Scots

19/20 because I didnt know how to spell Trakia. Never heard it was called Trace in English but it kinda makes sense.

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).
