02 · NamesU+00C6 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER AE
Danmark, Dänemark, Dania: the mark and the short forms
Most languages keep both parts of the Danish name, Dan and mark. Danish, Norwegian, Swedish and Breton write Danmark; German Dänemark, French Danemark, Italian Danimarca, Spanish and Portuguese Dinamarca, Turkish and Maltese Danimarka. Welsh shortens it to Denmarc, Faroese makes it Danmørk.
A second group drops the mark. Polish and Latin say Dania, Croatian and Slovenian Danska, Czech Dánsko, Greek Δανία and Russian Дания (Danija). Finnish and Estonian go their own way with Tanska and Taani, while Kven has Tanmarkku. Arabic writes الدانمارك (ad-Dānmārk) with the article, Hebrew lists both דניה and דנמרק.
Copenhagen is København in Danish. Its Nordic neighbours have forms of their own, Icelandic Kaupmannahöfn, Faroese Keypmannahavn and Finnish Kööpenhamina, and Latin calls the city Hafnia. Most others follow the German Kopenhagen, written that way in 10 languages, or the French Copenhague.

The five regions of Denmark and the two self-governing territories
Mainland Denmark is divided into five regions with ISO 3166-2 codes. The Faroe Islands and Greenland govern themselves within the Kingdom and carry their own ISO 3166-1 codes. Each row gives the Danish name and the seat.

All municipalities of Denmark, the Faroe Islands and Greenland
05 · RegionsU+00D8 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH STROKE
Regions, a German name and two own codes
The regional seats are rarely the largest towns. Region Hovedstaden is governed from Hillerød, not from Copenhagen, Region Midtjylland from Viborg and Region Sjælland from Sorø; of the five seats, only Ålborg and Vejle are among the ten largest towns of Denmark. Region Syddanmark also carries a German name, Region Süddänemark, because German is an official language in South Denmark beside Danish.
ISO 3166-2 numbers the regions DK-81 to DK-85: Nordjylland is 81, Midtjylland 82, Syddanmark 83, Hovedstaden 84 and Sjælland 85. The Faroe Islands (FO, FRO, 234) and Greenland (GL, GRL, 304) have their own entries in ISO 3166-1. The Faroese capital is Tórshavn, Thorshavn in Danish, and the Greenlandic capital Nuuk, Godthåb in Danish.

08 · Anthem
Der er et yndigt land, the national anthem
The anthem of Denmark in Danish, in the two stanzas of the original text.
- Der er et yndigt land, / det står med brede bøge / nær salten østerstrand / Det bugter sig i bakke, dal, / det hedder gamle Danmark / og det er Frejas sal / Der sad i fordums tid / de harniskklædte kæmper, / udhvilede fra strid / Så drog de frem til fjenders mén, / nu hvile deres bene / bag højens bautasten
- Det land endnu er skønt, / thi blå sig søen bælter, / og løvet står så grønt / Og ædle kvinder, skønne mø’r / og mænd og raske svende / bebo de danskes øer / Hil drot og fædreland! / Hil hver en danneborger, / som virker, hvad han kan! / Vort gamle Danmark skal bestå, / så længe bøgen spejler / sin top i bølgen blå
