    Country Name in French

    Since the Czech Republic changed their name to Czechia, has the name in French changed? If so what is it? Has the gender changed?

    Hi MS,

    It appears to be known as 'La Tchéquie' , formarly  'La République tchèque'. 

    See wiki page below for more info -

    Would be more useful is we could see what gender were countries starting with a vowel.

    The starting letter doesn't have any bearing on the gender of a noun.

    Exactly, and as a result we currently can't tell from this list. Those genders would be a very useful addition!

    All countries ending in 'e' are feminine (except Belize, Cambodge, Mexique, Mozambique, Zimbabwe). This info is taken from a Kwiziq lesson

    When listening to the list, they use a male or female voice so that way, you'll know if it's masculine or feminine
