For the Arab ones you didn't get quicky, here are three things for each, in no particular order, that would've narrowed them down. For the record, I haven't finished watching the video. - Whenever you see "ou" in a word that is very clearly not from french, it is almost definitely from western Africa, be that the Maghrebi Arab countries (such as was the case here, and is often the case for Arabic-sounding names), or from other post-french African countries. - The weird H is most likely from a transliteration from an Arabic-script language, although I don't think that it could be Arabic. It probably represents a particular H-like sound not native to the Latin alphabet. The z-dot likely represents another letter with no native Latin alphabet equivalent, although I'm not sure of my pick of which it's meant to be. I suspect that this is Maltese, actually. - The "Corniche Nahr" means the riverine (from "nahr", meaning river in Arabic) coast walking area of its city (there are also corniches by sea coasts). While all the names of that clue are somewhat familiar to me, I can't pinpoint them as places in Egypt (not that I'm that good with my native country's micro-geography). It makes snese for it to be a different Arab country with a major river, as an Egyptian would usually call Cairo's Corniche (or any other riverine one, for that matter) "Corniche el-Nil", forgoing the more generic "river" in favour of specifying the river Nile. EDIT: I called that Malta. Also, it's news to me that Iraqi Arabic would transliterate waw as "ou" (what I sort of talked about). For the corniche one, I suspect that Beirut has a small river with a corniche, as opposed to the seaside corniche they almost certainly have. That or it's just a generic name.

10 de octubre is Cuban independence day; a tip for Switzerland is they don't use ß; iela is Latvian for street, Sderot is an Israeli city; Salisbury is the former name for Harare (Zimbabwe). Great video!

Other than me getting frustrated of you not guessing Indonesia this was a great video! That was a great quiz!

I recognise Ħ from Maltese, and it's an interesting letter. It also reminds me how some claims you can't write Arabic with Latin because it got that different H sound, which is what the Maltese letter Ħ is used for. Plus the Latin alphabet has whatever sounds the language decides it has.

I have the Rolling Stones Edition (of course I do) and instead of houses and hotels it's audience stands and stadiums. And it's albums instead of streets. The more successful the album the more expensive it it.

Germany uses generic street names, but within each group the names are related, for example yellow is Lessingstraße, Schillerstraße and Goethestraße, named after poets

Interesting. That's very unique.

Funny, i live in canada and have never heard of this canadian version. Always played the american one growing up whether digital or a physical copy.

Digital versions of Monopoly I can understand, limited with what versions they offer. Physical I can kinda understand too depending on where you get it from.

There's two Iraqi versions. One is an old one from 1986 and is extremely collectable, all the writing is in Arabic. The other is a more tongue in cheek one made by/for US troops stationed there (it's in pretty poor taste, "Cheney" instead of "Chance" etc). But these names are from the original Arabic one, which I don't think was officially endorsed by Hasbro/Parker Bros but it existed there for decades. The 1986 one was published by Doudabdulrahim Works and is very very rare.
