Introduction
One interesting fact about the world’s countries is that there are no countries that start with the letter X. While this might seem surprising at first, it is actually not so unusual when you consider the history of language and geography.
The letter X is one of the least commonly used letters in the English language, and it is even less common in many other languages. As a result, there are relatively few words that start with X, and even fewer geographic names. In fact, there are only a handful of countries that contain the letter X in their name, such as Mexico and Luxembourg, but none of them actually start with X.
Despite the fact that there are no countries that start with X, there are still plenty of places around the world that use the letter in their names. For example, there are many cities and towns around the world that contain the letter X, such as Phoenix and Alexandria for example. Additionally, there are many geographical features such as rivers, mountains, and lakes that have X in their names.
