    UNGEGN List of Country Names

    Introduction

    During its 16

    th

     Session (New York, 1992), the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names (UNGEGN) rconvened its working group to establish the official forms of country names. The new working group was given the task updating a list of country names drawn up in 1986.

    This document is the successor to that first effort and has been compiled using Unicode-compliant fonts throughout. contains entries for the 193 countries generally recognized by the international community to be independent states. It current as of October 2007. All of the countries listed in this document are United Nations member states, with texception of the Holy See, which has permanent observer status in the UN.

    The principal aim of this document is to present country names in the language or languages used in an official capaciwithin each country in the world. These names, presented in the National Official name section, are provided in twforms: the short names, which may or may not be official, are the ones in common use, while the formal names are thos

    used in an official diplomatic context. The form of the article is provided where necessary to indicate gender.

    The authority for country names used officially in the United Nations is the UN Terminology Section, which maintains thUnited Nations Multilingual Terminology Database (or UNTERM), available on the Internet at http://unterm.un.org.  Thdatabase contains records for each country that list, among other things, the short and formal country names in the sofficial languages of the UN. This information has been extracted from the UNTERM database and, with some min

    modifications, is presented in the UN Official names section of this document.

    In this document, languages written in non-Roman scripts are presented in their native scripts whenever technically possiband then these scripts are romanized according to systems approved by the United Nations (see the website of thUNGEGN Working Group on Romanization Systems at http://www.eki.ee/wgrs/ for the latest  Report on the Current Stat

    of United Nations Romanization Systems for Geographical Names). These languages include Amharic, Arabic, Benga

    Bulgarian, Chinese, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Khmer, Macedonian Cyrillic, Nepali, Persian, Russian, Serbian, Tamil, Thaand Urdu. For those languages without a UN-approved romanization system, the most widely used international systemapplied and its name listed in the Notes section of the document.

    Some country names used by national authorities are different from those used by the local authorities or by the UN. Thedifferences are noted for information purposes in a section labeled Names used by a national authority. However, onthose national authorities that have requested that a reference be included are represented in this section.

    A question mark [?] denotes the absence of a known established name in a given language.

    The UNGEGN Working Group on Country Names welcomes any comments to improve or update this document. Pleaforward these comments to the convenor by electronic mail at [email protected] or by post to Leo Dillon / INR/GGI Roo6741 HST / U.S. Department of State / Washington DC 20520-6510 / U.S.A.
