I have a friend who has actively refused to learn new countries or names. In his world, there's still Yugoslavia, USSR, Czechoslovakia, ... and a lot of new countries simply do not exist. A funny geezer, good entertainment with his "principles". (which, needless to say, do not end at "I'm not learning new countries")
But apart from the fact that they speak a different language that uses a different script, is there any real reason why Tanzania shouldn't be accepted?
As always with official languages, it's interesting which countries speak the language that don't have it official and which countries don't speak it but have it as the official language. Somalia, Comoros, and Djibouti are not really Arabic speaking countries. Meanwhile, a lot of people in Israel and South Sudan do speak Arabic.
Thanks for the response!
1) Algeria: Tamazight
2) Comoros: Comorian
3) Djibouti: Afar and Somali
4) Iraq: Kurdish
5) Lebanon: French
6) Mauritania: Pulaar
7) Morocco: Tamazight
8) Somalia: Somali
- Afar and Somali are not official in Djibouti.
- French is not official in Lebanon.
- Pulaar is not official in Mauritania.
