This was really fun! It has also made me realize I should really start spelling Liechtenstein properly instead of the mis-spelled version that Jetpunk accepts.
Fun fact: the letter "W" acts as a vowel when it is part of a diphthong. If you've ever wondered why it's "double U", well it makes a "U" sound in a diphthong. Like in "New"! Of course, this has led to much debate as to whether "W" can sometimes be a vowel! I think the quiz leaving "New Zealand" with just four vowels is probably the right choice, though.
The only problem with this is that it's impossible to see which countries have been missed. Many are too small to show up even when zoomed. And as some get filled in automatically when you type one with the same vowels.
what a completely weirdass quiz - I LOVE IT!!! (would dispute several of the y's appearing as vowels though: IMO, Norway, no; Guyana, marginal; Germany, yes. What's the criterion: if an 'i' could seamlessly replace it, yes? [in which case, I withdraw])

(This was a genius quiz. Took me only one try but it still took me like 13 minutes trying to think of only the letters allowed. I voted it for five stars. Maybe you could do one with only consonants if you havent already :)
In English, the letters in words are considered vowels when they contribute to a vowel sound. In Kenya, the "Y" is not a vowel, but a consonant. Here is the phonetic spelling:
/ˈkenjə/. It makes a "yuh" sound. Egypt, on the other hand, is pronounced /ˈiːdʒɪpt/. The "Y" is making an "ih" sound, like the "i" does in "dip". That makes that "Y" a vowel. The quiz is correct.
(i i iaiou, i oe i)
(Phenomenal job! I nominated it, hopefully it gets featured!)
(The best quiz ever!)
But why is "Vatican City" just "Aia I" (missing the Y)?
micronesia should be eeae ae o ioeia not eeae ae oioeia
St Kitts -> I
(North Macedonia) FYROM -> O
[my brain hurts now]
gj
So (North) Macedonia -> "(o) aeoia" should be the only two type-ins for it.

Y is not a vowel but at least be consistent :)
/ˈkenjə/. It makes a "yuh" sound. Egypt, on the other hand, is pronounced /ˈiːdʒɪpt/. The "Y" is making an "ih" sound, like the "i" does in "dip". That makes that "Y" a vowel. The quiz is correct.
Me: What?
My friend: The big country in Africa!
Me: Ohhh, you must mean Eoai Eui O E Oo
My friend: Are you okay?
Me: It's actually called Ea Aia Eui.
My friend: No, it's Central African Republic.
My brain: what is he talking about?
My friend:Just look at a map.
(i had four seconds left, thank you for torturing me)
I am french
Good quiz
