So far we have the names of the states and the capitals in many languages and I like it....people like this topic and I am very glad to see it. But I know there are people also from (for example): Poland, Lithuania, Hungary, Ukraine, Greece, Portugal, Iceland etc.....so I think it would be pretty cool to hear them?:)
