Countries I Rarely Ever Talk About

[@Vishesh.Trivedi]

Some other countries i wonder about while scrolling randomly on google maps are- Togo, Uruguay, Lebanon, Eswatini, Malawi, Brunei, Micronesia, Bhutan, Mali, North Macedonia, Belize, Nicaragua, Malta. We never hear about these countries as well, would be nice if you could make a part 2 on these as well 😄

[@artemesiagentileschini7348]

Macedonia, Lebanon, Mali and Brunei are actually quite mid popular A lot of them have rich history and/or major influence on the neighbouring countries. Brunei is known as that rich kingdom with gold-ridden royal family. Mali is known from the north Africa from its rich history of Mali empire. Macedonia is a former greek/ottoman territory. And Lebanon is even mentioned in the Bible.

[@DzzO]

Wait, Macedonia's still around?

[@lulubibilu]

As a brazilian, it's funny to me that you know nothing about Uruguay. It's a small country that borders my state, so I've been there many times. The main city is Montevideo and it's beautiful. The coastal cities are amazing too, but the water is quite cold. It's a very safe, developed and modern country.

[@artemesiagentileschini7348]

@@lulubibilu tbf Uruguay doesn't ring a bell in terms of foreign affairs in many countries. It is like Lichtenstein or Andorra, developed but lowkey and not many people actually know them.

[@carolineknell7606]

Its called North Macedonia now

[@tjg750]

Montenegro literally describes its physical geography. Montenegro means “Black Mountain”

[@MFFLTALK]

St Lucia is a popular travel destination for US cruises

[@nick_vigerfil]

Also there is filmed some Hollywood movies and the first movie i personally had see in the past and figured that part's of filmed in Saint Lucia is the 1st of total 4 movies of Superman with Christoffer Reeve in the same name role as protagonist 😉😎🙂

[@Y2k05.timeless]

Fun fact: the currency that he showed for St. Lucia is actually an outdated version, we have a newer one now

[@asmartbajan]

He's also pronouncing St. Lucia wrong. I live in Barbados and we say "Saint Loosha" (unless I've been saying it wrong all my life).

[@rhysbevan6767]

​@@asmartbajan I'm English and I definitely call it Loosha (My wife and I honeymooned there, and the American and Canadian friends I made also said Loosha But I have heard other English people call it Loocia, which aounds so wrong to me 😂

[@asmartbajan]

@@rhysbevan6767 Yep. Many people also say Antigua wrong because they assume the "gua" part is pronounced "gwa." But Pat Sajak would always educate viewers of Wheel of Fortune how to say it right. Lol

[@pool5863]

some countries i'd like to add - vanuatu, seychelles, trinidad and tobago, suriname, and moldova

[@picobello99]

The Seychelles have the highest gdp in Africa and it's a popular travel destination for the wealthy. Moldova - remember the song Dragostea Din Tei (not sure how to write it)? That's from Moldova 😀Moldova is one of the poorest and least visited countries in Europe. They speak Romanian. Apparently Modovans can apply for Romanian citizenship, so I learned from a Moldovan colleage who's going through this process. Suriname isn't a mystery country to me since I'm Dutch. It's the most forested country in the world and also one of the most ethnically diverse. Their food is amazing by the way 😋

[@Gmackematix]

Palau's biggest island is Babeldaob, also the second largest island in the Micronesian region after Guam and its capital only moved from Koror to Ngerulmud in 2006. It is the smallest capital by population in the world and its name means place of fermented angelfish. The country is home to Jellyfish Lake, home to thousands of jellyfish. In 2016, the president ran for office against his brother in law. In 2020, Palau was the first country to ban brands of sunscreen which were poisonous to coral reefs. It is one of the few homes of the Nicobar pigeon (the closest relative of the dodo) and the country is mentioned in Enya's song "Orinoco Flow".

[@graceneilitz7661]

Isn’t Guam the largest Island in Micronesia?

[@Gmackematix]

@@graceneilitz7661The place I read that it was first, (OK, it was Wikipedia) now says it is second behind Guam. So yes, you are correct and I've subtly edited it accordingly because I hate spreading misinformation. Thanks for the heads up.

I must have been lucky having visited all but two of the countries mentioned. Saying St Lucia was French puzzled me as it had Queen Elizabeth on its currency and it was Fyffes Bananas that were its main export to UK before we went into the EU. I knew the spoke French as well as English as the official language but was it not English at the end before independence?

What happened to "OCEANIA"?

[@MKPoqdPDeamimzpygxDjg7sJY59]

Yeah, what did happen to Oceania?

[@rodolfomiranda2676]

You mean the continent??

[@rmot2911]

He just can't pronounce Oceania for some reason where there's nothing as Oceana. Geography by Geoff KZbin channel and Many Other KZbin channels that deal with Geography Content has Way More Subscribers, Likes, etc because This Channel has More Mistakes Too. For those who state Oceania as Continent, Oceania is a Region that has 2 Continents of Australia that is known more as Continent though it's also a Country, Island, etc. The other continent in Oceania is Zealandia where most of it is submerged though New Zealand lies on it

[@blxvkpxndx]

Oceania is not a country so go cry in the bushes.

[@rizkyadiyanto7922]

its disrespectful to the people of oceana.

[@HarryWHill-GA]

If you've never been to Port Djibouti, consider yourself lucky. It is only marginally better than the island of Socotra. My youngest daughter spent three years in Georgia with the Peace Corps.

[@477BravoJuliet]

A little known and useless fact about Cabo Verde. There are no snakes there. Just like Ireland.

[@Evanbeery]

Also there is a massive population of Cape Verdeans in my home city of Brockton Massachusetts one of the only other places in the world you’ll find them

[@477BravoJuliet]

@@Evanbeery That's interesting. How did they end up in Massachusetts?

[@impulse_xs]

@@477BravoJulietthey came in several waves but it’s mainly to do with them being a Portuguese colony until the 70s. Mass. already has the largest Portuguese population in the US so that probably played a big role in why so many Cape Verdeans immigrated there.

[@MikadoYuma]

Montenegro capital is pronounced podgoricha..... And i know it because it is one of my country neighbors (the impressive fact is my country is not only the most famous in Balkans but maybe one of the top 10 or top 20 most famous on the planet 🌐 I feel of course very proud for that) so well in case you didn't guess it until now is Greece 🇬🇷😉😎🙋🏻‍♂️ one of the countries wouldn't be subject of this video 😎 Other intresting facts of this video Cuba and Porto Rico flags is the same with reversed colours and also the last fact in this video is the pronounce of Bahrain have a normal soundly sounds of H in BaHrain (don't forget the fact that as an Arabic people habited country with this style of language the h is pronounced quite strong) this it was my help and contribution to this video I hope the uploader not offended and if is i will say to him don't get me wrong i am not attacking you - chears 🍻🙋🏻‍♂️

[@sabrinensis]

I can only criticise your pronunciation. Palau is in Oceania - pronounced osh.an.ia not och.ian.a. St Lucia is normally pronounced saint lu.sha (although saint lu.si.a is passable - you will find the local tourist board prefers ain't lu.sha!). As for the capital of Montenegro - the Cyrillic script gives it away! Podgorica looks like it should be pod.go.ri.ka, but Cyrillic has pod.go.ri.tsa!! If you’re going to present a video using foreign pronunciations, make sure they’re correct. Just saying.

[@SaudiGod]

Who made you pronouncing king?

[@nick_vigerfil]

He is speaking the truth, i don't see him as a pronunciation king but i agree totally with him....!
