No, it shouldn't. Scores updated.

Inuiti, people from Greenland. Iraqi and Kuwaiti? Along that line, would it be Dhubaii and Qatari? They used to be called Burmese but are they called Myanmari these days? Finally we have Serbs.

The Inuit aren't a nationality but an ethnic group.

Yes to Iraqis and Kuwaitis.

Dhubai is part of the UAE, I've certainly never come across the term Dhubaiis. But yes to Quataris.

The country is now the Republic of the Union of Myanmar, although I think the people are often still known as Burmese. However, I have seen Myanmas used, which is close enough to your Myanmaris.

Yes to Serbs

Shayne Parkinson: 14 (Solomon Islanders, Laos, Cypriots, Pakistanis, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, Uzbeks, Tajiks, Israelis, Yemenis, Monegasques, Swiss, Greeks,Bangladeshis)

This is not an attempt at adding an answer. I just thought that those who like quizzes might enjoy testing their knowledge with this.

Countries of the World Quiz


The main trouble I had was getting the spelling correct.

I declare that Shayne Parkinson is the winner!

Over to you, Shayne!

Dubai is one of the seven Emirates of the United Arab Emirates. Dhubaii/Dhubaiis is wrong. The correct term is Emirati or Emirian, although Emirati is more popular. (I'm from the UAE by the way, from the Emirate of Abu Dhabi).

If you click on the more stats link near the bottom is a list.

I got 141 countries of the world. I missed some pretty easy ones.

I've seen both used.

Thanks, Paul, that was fun! Some of your extra ones aren't from sovereign nations (e.g.Cook Islanders), so I'm not sure if they should count, but they're still interesting.

I'm a bit under the weather today, so Kumabjorn, if you have a quiz to post that would be great. Thanks.
