Yikes, I didn't see scambigol's one! It does have just two small differences. I will check in with him about this, and in the meantime I've credited him and his quiz.
Is Y a consonant in some language? If it is, this is a very VERY strange world. There is no way that Cyprus, Syria or Kyrgyzstan has 2 consonants in the beginning. Just say those and you know.
Although y is generally a consonant, it is sometimes treated as a vowel. We've put a note in the instructions that, in this quiz, a consonant is anything that's not an a, e, i, o or u.
I once made Y a consonant only when it should have been on "Countries with Two Vowels". I got tons of complaints as to what was a consonant and what wasn't, which led to pronunciation problems and much more! For every other of my two vowels quizzes (most of that list), I stuck to "Y" as a consonant only. Didn't get any complaints!
Can someone please tell me how "Kyrgyzstan" only has one vowel in it, and it has a chain of 8 consonants, none of which look like they should be together?
I personally think it's stupid, and Kirgizstan would make way more sense. The reason is that the country's actual spelling is Кыргызстан, and English transliterators prefer to use a "y" for "ы" because there's another Russian letter, "и", that sounds very similar to English ears for which "i" is written as the equivalent. (ы is a single letter, despite being written in two separate pieces).
