Y Country - Yemen


Yemen is the world's only Y country

The A to Z categories are based on the English language and inadvertently might not include all native country names.

YEMEN, a Middle Eastern country with plenty of deserts, is the only country that has a name beginning with the letter Y. You may have noticed that the previous post was about V countries; that is because there are no W or X countries. There are various entities and territories that start with the letter W - Wake Island, Wallis & Futuna, West Bank, and Western Sahara - but they are not countries.

Discover more about Yemen by visiting my Yemen post that focuses exclusively on this country!
