Aaron is there a reason you haven't done a quiz about Belgium yet? I'm assuming you accidentally skipped it over.
I'm sorry Quizmaster if I shouldn't have marked this comment as "containing a correction or suggestion" but I would like to bring this to the attention of Aaron and I don't know how else I can do it :)
I'm not sure if I understand you, but if you're asking for a "Belgium Country Quiz", well there already is one featured made by alberici. But I generally have made quizzes about Belgium.
I guess this has been debated elsewhere and at length, but I'm still not entirely convinced that Catalan is a language, rather than a dialect of Spanish, but since Andorra explicit considers Catalan its official language, I understand why the quiz wouldn't accept Spanish as an answer.
Just wanted to say: you ain't foolin' noone, Andorra!
They're pretty similar yes. As a Spanish speaker I can read Catalan without too many problems, although there are some weird words/usages here and there. I found it impossible to understand people speaking in Catalan when I was in Barcelona though.
Catalan speakers usually find it easier to learn English than Spanish speakers, because Catalan has a wider range of vowel sounds than Spanish - not as many as English but way more than the very few that Spanish has. So pronunciation-wise it's a big difference.
Catalan is way closer to Occitan (romance dialects of southern France) than to standard Spanish (also known as castellano => originally the dialect spoken in Castile).
La parla catalana té trets propers a la dels espanyols car ambdues surten del llatí, hi és si fa no fa tan pareguda com ho pot ésser al gallec, el francès, àdhuc el romanès i en tot cas menys que l'occità i el piemontès. Car a eixes dues llengües sí que s'hi assembla força.
Gave up with 1:45 left on the clock and 14/15 answers gotten, then I thought "Wait, is it bishop of ____" right as I clicked Give Up. Whoops. This is why you be patient, people.
You could also ask: number of oceans Andorra has access to, or number of Nobel prizes, or number of astronauts.
