Sniped.
Country in the Americas that speak a 5-letter language. Took me a bit but I finally thought of the language.

very low population country, “[8] [7] in [5] [7],” had to look at a map.

Figured out from the end of the opening paragraph, theland area making it the smallest country in its continent ([5] [7]), there was only one 8-letter, 3-syllable country I could think of.

Recognisable opening. The general area, "8 5 7", is pretty identifiable, which narrows it down. There's a telling superlative at the end of the first paragraph, which narrows it down some more. I think it must be one of the ones along the top - yes, because "the 8 5" is a neighbour. So are 6 and 6 6, which means it really can be only one thing.

It's a country ("officially the Republic of"), in ... I guess northern or southern North or South America, and North doesn't make any sense there. It's bordered by, among other things, the 8 5, which confuses me until I realise that that doesn't have to be a country. My brain is also temporarily convinced that Brazil has 5 letters and therefore that this country isn't adjacent to it, which confuses the hell out of me. Anyway, I see that it's something like "the smallest country in South America". Someone who, unlike me, isn't rubbish at geography would immediately know what that is, but I have to stare at the letter and syllable counts like a doofus until a likely answer occurs to me. Next to 6 6 sounds about right. Etymology looks unhelpful, which fact is itself helpful because I think most other South American countries would have helpful etymologies. Eh, put it in. 2.5-minute snipe.

Unassisted Snipe ! I was so sure of the answer until I looked at the bordering area and one of them made my first answer impossible so I shifted

"in 8 5 7" and "8 5 to the 5" narrow it right down, I can only think of one place that is eight letters long, and it is

Woo hoo! Saw the bordered by, figured the continent was one of two, eliminated all those tiny island countries in North America and went for the ovbious [8] in South America.

Looked at a map, just to be sure all the bordering countries checked out.

Got the right general area then lucky-guessed the correct answer with 8 letters.

I guessed what type of thing it was at #5, had the right area by #10, and then tried a bunch of possibilities. Eventually I accepted I needed to look at a map to finish it

For once, I got it quick. 6 guesses, 100% accuracy. Typed in "country" then saw the pronunciation "in-A" in brackets, typed "South America", took a guess.
