What is another word for British Guiana?
Pronunciation: [bɹˈɪtɪʃ ɡɪˈɑːnə] (IPA) 
British Guiana, a country located in South America, was renamed to Guyana in 1966 after gaining independence from Britain. However, the old name still has some synonyms associated with it. It was often referred to as Guiana, British Guayana, and even British Guiana Proper to differentiate it from French Guiana, a neighbouring territory held by the French. In early colonial times, the region was known as the 'Wild Coast' but with time, its name changed and evolved with different powers ruling over it. Despite its numerous names, Guyana remains a popular tourist destination in South America, known for its rich culture and stunning natural scenery.
