List of country names (Draft version)
Prepared by Working Group on Country Names – United States of America

DRAFT – NOT FINAL VERSION
[The following is a draft version of a document to be submitted at the Ninth United Nations Conference on the Standardization of Geographical Names in 2007. UNGEGN experts are invited to make comments concerning this document to the convenor of the Working Group on Country Names.] UNGEGN List of Country Names: Introduction During its 16th Session (New York, 1992), the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names (UNGEGN) decided to form a working group to establish the official forms of country names. The new working group was given the task of 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. It contains entries for the 192 countries generally recognized by the international community to be independent states. It is current as of February 2006. All of the countries listed in this document are United Nations member states, with the exception 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 capacity within each country in the world. These names, presented in the National Official name section, are provided in two forms: the short names are the ones used colloquially or informally, while the formal names are those used officially. The authority for country names used officially in the United Nations is the UN Terminology Section, which maintains the United Nations Multilingual Terminology Database (or UNTERM), available on the Internet at http://unterm.un.org. This database contains records for each country that list, among other things, the short and formal country names in the six official languages of the UN. This information has been extracted from the UNTERM database and, with some minor modifications, such as the addition of vowel pointing in Arabic script, 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 possible, and then these scripts are romanized according to systems approved by the United Nations (see the website of the UNGEGN Working Group on Romanization Systems at http://www.eki.ee/wgrs/ for the latest Report on the Current Status of United Nations Romanization Systems for Geographical Names). These languages include Amharic, Arabic, Bengali, Bulgarian, Chinese, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Khmer, Macedonian Cyrillic, Nepali, Persian, Russian, Serbian, Tamil, Thai, and Urdu. For those languages without a UN-approved romanization system, the most widely used international system is applied 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. These differences are noted for information purposes in a section labeled Names used by a national authority. However, only those 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. Please forward these comments to the convenor by electronic mail at [email protected] or by post to Leo Dillon / INR/GGI Room 2911 HST / U.S. Department of State / Washington DC 20520-6510 / U.S.A. Explanation of entries

2. National Official name section gives the name of the country in the language(s) used in official government business within that country.

3. UN Official name section gives the names used officially within the United Nations in the six official UN languages: English, French, Spanish, Russian, Chinese and Arabic. Other than a few minor modifications, these names are the same as those found in the UNTERM website.
4. Notes section contains information relating to languages, transliteration systems used, reference works, and technical issues.
5. Names used by a national authority section provides an opportunity for countries whose national authorities use a country name different from the name used officially in the UN to make reference to a document or Internet website address where that information is available.
