IKR. I literally thought of a map of Asia and went through all of the countries, even looked at the "stans" if there isn't a sneaky country hiding between them, but I forgot the one. :-D

It should be the most obvious - it's the only one whose ending is pronounced like the letter "i" - how did I miss it?!

Nice quiz. Just a suggestion: The official name of Eswatini is written as "eSwatini", so maybe write it like that or like "ESwatini"? Thanks.

Wikipedia has it as Eswatini. Presumably, they have a good reason for doing so. I'm still waiting for some country to change its name to a symbol like Prince did.

I don't get the whole eSwatini shenanigans... Are we ditching exonyms now? It's like Ivory Coast wanting everyone to use its name in French, which makes no sense at all. Should we all start calling Japan Nihon? Greece, Hellas? Spelling Brazil with a S? eSwatini means Swaziland in the Swazi language, so the change only affects the country's name in its native language, or at least that should be the case... There is nothing wrong with adapting a country or place name to other languages. We've been doing it since ever.

^ Which doesn't make it right. A country's name is its identity and countries have as much right to name themselves as people do. Only an imbecile would be insensitive enough to insist on calling Juan "John" or Enrico "Henry" just because English is their native language.

Also, some people get Swaziland mixed up with Switzerland, so for those people it's a good thing they changed it.

I love how Ivory Coast keeps insisting to be called the other way, and everybody just ignores them. Meanwhile, this guy asks politely and almost everybody starts to call them Eswatini right away. :-D

There's also nothing wrong with calling a country by the name that it wants to be called. They speak French in Cote d'ivoire so why wouldn't they want people to use the French name? It's really not that difficult and it just seems arrogant and contemptuous to not respect that.

Yes, I don't understand either why quizmaster has decided to dig in his heels on Côte d'Ivoire. I guess he enjoys the controversy. But it's inconsistent and pretty rude to Ivorians. I don't know why they care (my country doesn't care if you call it Deutschland, Allemagne, Germany, Saksa, Niemcy, or whatever else), but Ivorians clearly do care, and the mere fact that there are probably no too many of them on this page doesn't seem like a good enough reason to diss them - especially since it would cost nothing to keep accepting "Ivory Coast" as a type-in.

Ivory Coast didn't change their name though, they just want people to use their language. They don't use the languages of other countries for their names, they use French, so sod 'em.

I would have finished faster had I not wasted time typing countries that end in L. Might I suggest using a lower case "i" in the quiz description in order to avoid confusion? With the font Jet Punk uses, "end in the letter l" and "end in the letter I" are indistinguishable.

I didn't get any. The description looks like you're asking for words ending in 'l' (el) the letter after 'k' and before 'm.'

Lowercase 'l' and uppercase 'I' look the same, and the last letter of a word is lower case.

If the quiz asked for words ending in 'i,' I would have done better.
