Dominica and Dominika: a short list of spellings
Few country names change as little as this one. 33 languages write Dominica exactly as English does, and 25 more, Czech, Croatian, Basque and Faroese among them, only replace the c with k. French says Dominique, Irish Doiminice, Scottish Gaelic Doiminicia, Esperanto Dominiko and Tongan Tominika. German lists Dominika beside Dominica.
In other scripts the name is spelled by sound: Доминика in Russian and seventeen more languages written in Cyrillic, ドミニカ in Japanese, 도미니카 in Korean, डोमिनिका in Hindi. Arabic lists الدومينيك (ad-Dūmīnīk) with the article and دومينيكا beside it, Hebrew writes דומיניקה, and Chinese 多米尼克 (Duōmǐníkè).
Dominica is not the Dominican Republic, and many languages keep the two apart only by the second word: Spanish has Dominica beside República Dominicana. The capital Roseau keeps its French spelling in English, French and German; Haitian Creole, Latvian and Lithuanian write it as it sounds, Rozo, and Russian has Розо.
