Heheh Valvejoodik is young, he still learns:) I am sure in that...:lol:

OK, I think we have more than 10 languages so far: Estonian, Norwegian, Welsh, Irish(!), French, Dutch, Serbian, Turkish, Romanian, Croatian....nice! I am so glad seeing this topic so interesting. Keep up good working and post the names in your languages, we have here people who speak Hebrew, Ukrainian, Russian, Swedish, Greek, Bulgarian, i think even from Phillipines, Tagalog language or something like that etc. etc....they are all welcome to post:)!

Some more countries in my language:

South Africa(Južna Afrika) / Pretoria( pronounciation "Pretorija")
Saudi Arabia(Saudijska Arabija) / Riyadh(Rijad)
Iran(Iran) / Tehran(Teheran)
Tajikistan(Tadzikistan) / Dushanbe(Dušanbe)
Kyrgizstan(Kirgistan or Kirgizistan) / Bishkek(Biškek)

A few other countries in French,

:us: Les Etats-Unis d'Amérique - Washington DC
Note: when abbreviated, we usually use the English "USA" or "US". In Dutch, "VS" (Verenigde Staten), and in Spanish, "EEUU" (Estados Unidos) are common. In French, "EUA" is never, ever used and "E.-U." exists but is rarely seen.

(South Africa) L'Afrique du Sud - Prétoria
:br: Le Brésil - Brasilia
:au: L'Australie - Canberra
:jp: Le Japon - Tokyo
:in: L'Inde - New Delhi
(New Zealand) La Nouvelle-Zélande - Wellington

Actually, I think in Spanish is:
EE. UU. (Estados Unidos; with two EE and two UU because are plural words, and dots and a space between the letters because it is an abbreviation).
or EUA (Estados Unidos de América; without a dot or space, because are initials, not an abbreviation).

I feel like a freak now :lol:
