Have you heard the nation called "Comoros" before
« on: July 28, 2012, 08:27:10 AM »
At 1,862 km2 (719 sq mi) (excluding Mayotte),[4] the Comoros is the third-smallest African nation by area. The population (excluding Mayotte) is estimated at 798,000. Its name derives from the Arabic word قمر qamar ("moon").[5] The archipelago is notable for its diverse culture and history, as a nation formed at the crossroads of many civilizations. It is the southernmost member state of the Arab League. Though in the contested island of Mayotte the sole official language is French, the "Union of the Comoros" has three official languages: Comorian, Arabic, and French.
