Cities Beginning With "L" on a Map

It still has a few goodies to sort the wheat from the chaff! Also accept Lvov?

You could accept Limassol, it's close enough to the Cyprus spot... Btw, I think it's a much better known city than Larnaca.

Larnaca has the airport

Limassol is the 2nd largest urban area in the country after Nicosia (locally known as Lefkosia or Lefkosha).

Tried Limassol as well.

Me too!

Limassol has gained no traction? It's right on the spot on the map, is Cyprus's #2 city and is politically important due to a sovereign U.K. base on an island nation in a proxy battle between Greece and Turkey, both NATO members.

The northern China one almost got me, was trying alternate spellings of Linxia and Longnan. Facepalmed when I realized I was thinking too hard.

The type-in does not work for the one located on Cyprus. No alternative spellings seem to work either. Please fix.

Prepositions or articles? I'm sure La Los and Las translates to The which is an article, not a preposition.

Los Angeles translates as The Angels, as in "Our Lady the Queen of the Angels of Porciuncula" ("Nuestra Señora La Reina de los Angeles de Porciuncula"). If you're worried about a grammatically correct shorthand being used, the definite article is the least problematic. You'd better stump for Señora, Reina or Porciuncula. I wish you luck.

surprised not to see Liverpool

I guess I will thank you for learning me the existence of Larnaca...

I don't think so. Larnaca is the oldest city in Cyprus. It's also home to the country's only major airport, and some popular beaches. Limassol is larger, and also where the major seaport of the south is, but I don't think it's "much more well known" than Larnaca.

I don't know. I know the existence of Limassol for twenty years, and this quiz was the first time I ever saw the word "Larnaca". More significantly, the wikipedia page for Limassol is much longer (at least in English and in French).

I stayed in Larnaka, and it seems more well-known that Limassol. It was during a heatwave and felt like hell-on-earth.

I put La palma, la gran palma, lanzarote...I was so close.

Ljubljana doesn't start with an L. In Slovenian, and in other Yugoslav languages, "lj" is its own letter.

But in English, "Lj" is an L and a J.

And when you can put it as one character maybe it can change. Signed, Icelandic and bitter about Ð and Þ being relegated to D and P.

Isn't Þ mor like a "Th"? I always thought that.

I agree with GRU. Thorn does make a TH sound.

Actually, Slovenian alphabet contains only 25 letters. They don't have "ć", "dž", "đ", "lj" or "nj".

What, no Lower Hutt?

Good quiz - like that there's no way i'all get the all first time

I kept guessing Liverpool for that city in England, never would've thought it was Leeds.

Seeing as Liverpool is famous as a port city, the fact that the dot it quite far inland should prove that it isn't Liverpool.

Please accept Limassol and Lanzarote

Lanzarote is an island.

Typed in 'La Palma' for Las Palmas... arggh

Think lublana and insert j's after the l's, that wah your tongue does not get twisted.

Liverpool?

can you include Limassol over Larnaca? It's got double the population and is still in Cyprus

Sneaky. The picture clue gives one city and might misguide someone on another.

Suprised theres no Liverpool.
