About this quiz

What you’ll do in this quiz

Instead of flags or maps, you’ll work from official-language clues to identify the correct capital city. It’s a fun twist that rewards both geography knowledge and careful reading.

Every question uses a 4-option multiple-choice format with no timer, so you can think through similar-looking names and regional patterns at your own pace.

Difficulty and choosing your settings

Difficulty is mixed: some items are straightforward (widely known capitals), while others rely on less common language combinations or countries with multiple official languages. You can choose your preferred question count and difficulty before starting, making it easy to play a quick round or a full-length challenge.

Common pitfalls to watch for

Mixing up countries that share an official language (e.g., Spanish, French, Arabic)
Confusing a country’s largest city with its capital
Overlooking countries with multiple official languages and jumping to the first association
Misreading similar capital names (spelling and diacritics can be tricky)
Assuming a language always points to one region (many are spoken across continents)

How to improve your score

When you miss one, note the language-to-country link and the capital together; that pairing is what you’re really training. Over time you’ll get faster at narrowing down options by region, colonial history, and multilingual country patterns.
