About the capitals of South Asia

South Asia has 8 capital cities to learn. Some are the country's obvious largest city, and a good number are deliberately not — which is where a capitals quiz earns its keep.

The spread is wide: India holds 1.46 billion people while Maldives has 530 thousand. By land area India covers 3,287,590 km² against 300 km² for Maldives.

The largest country by population in South Asia is India, whose capital is New Delhi. Purpose-built and relocated capitals are common enough here that the largest city is often the wrong answer.

The table below lists all 8 countries of South Asia against their capitals, so you can read it as a study sheet and then come back and play.

Frequently asked questions

How many countries are in this quiz?

This quiz covers all 8 entries in South Asia. Questions are drawn from the full set, and the complete list appears in the table on this page.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no sign-up and no login. Your score stays in your own browser and is never sent anywhere.

How are the wrong answers chosen?

Deliberately, not at random. Each question prefers flags that are genuinely confusable with the right answer, then countries from the same sub-region, so guessing by elimination does not work.

Is it free?

Yes, completely free with no limit on how many times you play.
