Interesting one, but it could also be English (as in the language), American (as in the nationality), I know that they may have local versions of the names, but the other will still be known.:)

Not sure everywhere they would understand that, but if you couple it with the use of your finger and the ok sign, they should get the message
O-Ha

1. OK
2. TAXI
3. COLA
4. WHISKEY

Bizzarely, you can use all those words in one sentence and have a pretty good night out:D Overall, I reckon 'OK' wins it.

I'd be very surprised if OK or Taxi would be readily understood by 1 billion Chinese, or half a billion on the Indian sub continent and that is a fair proportion of humanity.

I think to factor-in an entire population/continent might cause problems with this quizzy question. There's a fair percentage of folk in Todmorden that don't know what a taxi is - my mother's one of 'em.

Still, at least we haven't ruled out the Whiskey and Coke yet:D
