02 · NamesU+0052 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER R
República Dominicana, Dominikana, Domingo: three ways to name the country
Most languages translate the Spanish name word for word, a republic plus an adjective: Dominikanische Republik in German, Dominikanska republika in Croatian and Slovenian, Dominikaaninen tasavalta in Finnish, Доминиканская Республика in Russian. Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan, Galician and Asturian share República Dominicana.
Polish and Silesian shorten the name to a single word, Dominikana, and Bambara says Dɔminikɛni. Esperanto and Faroese take the capital instead: Esperanto calls the country Domingo, Faroese Domingo lýðveldið, the Domingo republic. Welsh, Gweriniaeth Dominica, uses the form that elsewhere names the island state of Dominica.
Santo Domingo keeps its Spanish form in English, German and Irish. French translates the saint, Saint-Domingue, Portuguese has São Domingos and Latin Sanctus Dominicus; Esperanto writes Sankta Domingo. Russian joins the two words with a hyphen, Санто-Доминго, as several Turkic languages do in Latin letters.

05 · ProvincesU+00CD LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH ACUTE
Regions since 2014 and the province capitals
Since 29 October 2014 ISO 3166-2 has had two levels for the Dominican Republic: ten regions coded DO-33 to DO-42, from Cibao Nordeste to Yuma, and the 31 provinces and the National District below them, coded DO-01 to DO-32. The same change adjusted the names of three provinces; ISO now writes Baoruco and Monte Cristi where this list keeps Bahoruco and Montecristi, and Hermanas Mirabal, formerly Salcedo.
Many capitals carry a longer name than their province: Azua de Compostela, Santa Cruz de Barahona, San Francisco de Macorís for Duarte, Salvaleón de Higüey for La Altagracia, Santiago de los Caballeros for Santiago. The province of Santo Domingo has its capital in Santo Domingo Este, while the city itself forms the National District.
06 · Anthem
Quisqueyanos valientes, the national anthem
The anthem of the Dominican Republic in Spanish, the three stanzas of the original text.
- Quisqueyanos valientes, alcemos / Nuestro canto con viva emoción, / Y del mundo a la faz ostentemos / Nuestro invicto glorioso pendón. / Salve el pueblo que intrépido y fuerte, / A la guerra a morir se lanzó / Cuando en bélico reto de muerte / Sus cadenas de esclavo rompió. / Ningún pueblo ser libre merece / Si es esclavo indolente y servil / Si en su pecho la llama no crece / Que templó el heroismo viril. / Mas Quisqueya la indómita y brava / Siempre altiva la frente alzará: / Que si fuere mil veces esclava / Otras tantas ser libre sabrá.
- Que si dolo y ardid la expusieron / de un intruso señor al desdén, / a Las Carreras! a Beller!… campos fueron / que cubiertos de gloria se ven. / Que en la cima de heroíco baluarte, / de los libres el verbo encarnó, / donde el genio de Sánchez y Duarte / a ser libre o morir enseñó. / Y si pudo inconsulto caudillo / de esas glorias el brillo empañar, / de la guerra se vio en Capotillo / la bandera de fuego ondear. / Y el incendio que atónito deja / de Castilla al soberbio león, / de las playas gloriosas le aleja / donde flota el cruzado pendón.
- Compatriotas, mostremos erguida / nuestra frente, orgullosos de hoy más / que Quisqueya será destruida / pero sierva de nuevo, jamás. / Que es santuario de amor cada pecho / do la patria se siente vivir / Y es su escudo invencible, el derecho / Y es su lema: ser libre o morir. / Libertad que aún se yergue serena / La victoria en su carro triunfal. / Y el clarín de la guerra aún resuena / Pregonando su gloria inmortal. / ¡Libertad! Que los ecos se agiten / Mientras llenos de noble ansiedad / Nuestros campos de gloria repiten / ¡Libertad! ¡Libertad! ¡Libertad!
