Eritrea · Different wording
Different wording The two terms share 厄亚 in their simplified forms but are different words. In Taiwan the standard term is 厄利垂亞; on the Mainland it is 厄立特里亚 - both point at “Eritrea”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 厄利垂亞、厄立特裏亞 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.
Neither term carries an HSK or TOCFL level in this table - this pair is dictionary-recorded, not syllabus-derived.
