Flags of Countries that Border China

Another featured quiz, very nice :)

Is that a new flag for Tajikistan? Doesn't look familiar.

It's the same old one. Unless you have in mind the Soviet-era flag.

::shrug:: I suppose I just didn't know what the flag of Tajikistan looked like.

It's funny because I had the exact same thoughts when I saw the flag! I guess it's the usual denial followed by grudging acceptance of one's inevitable ignorance :D

I think the Burmese flag is pretty recently introduced.

I think it's interesting that even though their country is now myanmar their denonym is still burmese.

I highly assumed the post-Soviet style flag, but guessed it due to the fact that everything else was already guessed.

What sort of order are these in?

For any JetPunk quiz involving countries, be sure you know how to spell "Kyrgyzstan."

Linguists hate him

When you type Kyrgzstan and then the time runs out as you think dam can't spell it.

To my best knowledge, any combination that starts with 'kyrg' and ends with 'zstan' should work, so maybe it was the wrong flag after all...

So you can learn the 9 letters fine, but the 10th one is suddenly impossible?

oh because that one letter kills everyone thank god

I can spell kyrgyzstan, just make noises like kay-raygy-z-stan.

FORGOT NORTH KOREA :(

look at the name of the user down below this comment

I'm going to mess up your joke by commenting below you >:)

I don’t get it. I’m not North Korea :)

I found it interesting that the 3 I didnt get were the 3 least guessed. Since to me they are all nearly as obscure (besides a few perhaps) so somehow the same flags are equally difficult for others, fascinating.

For instance why is kygyzstan so much lower than kazakhstan. As countries they are equally obscure, yet both have rather distinctive flags (not 3 colored stripes, with or without a star/crescent) but kyrgyzstan is quite a lot lower. (and I doubt it is spelling, they are rather lenient on that, and kyr gyz, is not harder than ka zakh

)

kyrgyz is much harder for my fingers to type than kazakh. I have to stop and type it one letter at a time. No idea why. I remember the latter's flag easily because it's one of my favorite colors and the same shade of blue I used as my wedding color. I had no idea about the former's flag but after this discussion I will maybe remember it next time. :)

I think Kazakhstan's flag is much more distinct because of that unusual blue. I've seen it enough times that I always think it's a Caribbean or Oceanian flag, and have been surprised enough up seeing that it's Kazakhstan's that it has finally stuck.

I know Kazakhstan's flag because of Borat...

I don't think Kazakhstan is as obscure as the other stans. It's the largest one and the "one on the top" (meaning north). Before I learned them all, I always had it like this. Pakistan and Afghanistan are at the bottom, Kazakhstan at the top and between them is unknown mess. And I guess a lot of people have it similar, so if they don't make the extra step to learn them all, they would know Kazakhstan way better than the rest.

The Myanmar flag was just so un-myanmarish... So couldn't get it right away. I didn't know Tajikistan but guessed it off anyway. 26 seconds left only... Guess I'm just only a beginner

In case someone is curious, it's actually quite a cool flag. It represents the top of a traditional nomadic home, a Yurt. The rays represent the 40 tribes that unified Kyrgyzstan.

Thanks for the 5 points

Afghanistan's flag is ugly, they really need to change it.

The Afghani flag is controversial
