Many countries' names begin with letters from A to Z. The question is ambiguous as it doesn't specify whether it's asking for countries starting with every letter or just some letters in the alphabet. We'll address both interpretations.
Countries Starting with Every Letter of the Alphabet (A-Z)
This is not possible. Not every letter of the alphabet is used as the first letter of a country's name. While many countries begin with letters like A, B, C, etc., there are gaps. For example, there are no commonly recognized countries that start with the letter X. Reference sources like the US Department of State's list of countries (https://history.state.gov/countries/all) and other comprehensive lists confirm this.
Countries Starting with Specific Letters (A-Z)
Numerous countries begin with various letters of the alphabet. Several examples are provided below. The complete list is readily available through online resources mentioned above.
- A: Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Andorra, Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Armenia (and many more)
- B: Bahrain, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belgium, Belize (and many more)
- C: Cambodia, Cameroon, Canada, Cape Verde, Central African Republic (and many more)
- Z: Zambia, Zimbabwe (These are the only two countries beginning with Z, according to multiple sources including https://www.worldatlas.com/geography/countries-that-start-with-the-letter-z.html and https://www.quora.com/Are-there-any-countries-starting-with-the-letter-Z)
It's important to note that the exact number and names of countries can vary slightly depending on the source and how territories and disputed regions are classified.
