Are you sure the yellow box was on the answer? I almost missed one because I didn't realize it was still stuck on the answer before that I thought I'd passed on.

I don't speak Sinhalese nor Tamil but I still I figured out it's Sri Lanka as the name of the language is written and Sinhalese is spoken mainly in Sri Lanka

The gray box says "Countries by Wikimedia Descriptions" rather than Wikipedia. Bit of a nitpick, but still an error nonetheless

Haiti was the result of a slave revolt in the country, I think Liberia was where American slaves went to form their own country, so it's a little different
