Fun idea! The Hanja addition is fun to throw people off.

Thank you! Really this all started because I thought for the longest time that Songhai sounded Chinese. Fast forward to after I've learned it, and... it still sounds like it to me. Glad you enjoyed and (if that was your spotlight choice), thank you for that as well!

Am I wrong or is Machu supposed to be Manchu? Cause then wouldn't it come under Chinese dynasties?

Hello! The answer, Ma Chu does come under the answer "Chinese Dynasty" but not because I mistook it for the Manchu people, whose most famous dynasty was the Qing dynasty. It is its own dynastic state – please read here for more information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ma_Chu

Furthermore, the Chinese characters would also be different: Ma Chu is directly transliterated from the characters 馬楚, whereas in English, Manchu is a corruption of 滿族, "man zu," which literally means Man people group. What English speakers call the Manchu are actually called the Man in Chinese. Hope this helps!

Interesting quiz

Though I think it's worth mentioning that traditional and simplified are both used here, which isn't an huge issue but does look a little weird

Featuring both scripts is quite nice haha, thanks for updating it

Sorry if I am being nitpicky again though, but Luba is missing its simplified form 卢巴

Reminds me of the quiz Japan or Nigeria. Nice variety. The post-game descriptions are a nice touch.
