724 Views 23 Votes 53 Comments

The Italians insist on calling Rome Roma, while the Danes are somehow convinced that the correct way to write Copenhagen is København. Wouldn’t it be so much simpler if everyone just spoke English? ? Test yourself now to see can you recognise these cities in their local languages — and let us know how you get on!

  19. 10/13! Great quiz. I have been to quite a few of these. I didn’t know Jerusalem is also known as Al-Quds though. Sounds like an Arabic name. Presume that is what it is called by the Palestinians then?

  22. 11/13 – it should have been 12, if I’d looked more closely at the Edinburgh photo – I’ve been there often enough to recognise it!
