Apparently there are 4 countries with only one vowel in the name.  Cypress, Egypt and Chad are 3 of them, can you help me with the other one?  Names such as Canada with a repeated vowel do not count.

Chad , Cyprus , Egypt & Kyrgyzstan.
A, E, I, O, U are not vowels, they are letters of the alphabet.  A vowel is a phonetic term.  In Cyprus the vowel sound is represented by 'u'.  Egypt has two vowel sounds, one is represented by 'y' (a short i sound), the other is repesented by 'e' (a long e sound).  Kyrgystan has three vowel sounds.

blimey, i hope the producers of countdown down read this!

erm...don't read this!
I agree with bert, which means Greece has only one vowel.

Please humour me, I meant the good old a,e,i,o and u. My apologies to the purists but this question was raised in a pub over a pint not at Oxford or Cambridge language club!!!!
