Monegasque, the local Ligurian dialect, has no ISO 639 code of its own and is listed under lij. German is given in Latin type only; Latin lists four forms, from Monoecus to Portus Herculis Monoeci.
Monaco, Múnegu and Monoecus
The official name is Principauté de Monaco, the Principality of Monaco, and French is the one official language. The adjective is monégasque in French and Monegasque or Monacan in English. Country and capital share the name, since the state consists of a single city.
Monegasque, a dialect of Ligurian, calls the place Múnegu, and Occitan writes Mónegue. Most other languages keep Monaco or adapt it to their own spelling: Monako in Polish, Czech and Turkish, Mónaco in Spanish and Asturian, Monakas in Lithuanian and Monaks in Latgalian.
Scripts other than Latin simply transcribe the sounds. Russian and Bulgarian write Монако, Arabic موناكو (Mūnākū), Hebrew מונקו, Greek Μονάκο, Chinese 摩納哥 (Mónàgē) and Japanese モナコ. Latin is the exception with four forms of its own, among them Monoecus and Portus Herculis Monoeci, the port of Hercules Monoecus.
The 17 quarters of Monaco with ISO 3166-2 codes
Monaco is a single commune, so the old list had no political divisions to show. ISO 3166-2 added the quarters (quartiers) in Newsletter II-3 of 13 December 2011; there are 17, all named in French.

Quarters instead of municipalities
For the first thirteen years of ISO 3166-2 Monaco had no entry below the country. The quarters arrived with the newsletter of December 2011, and the list has not changed since. All of them lie within one city; Monaco-Ville, La Condamine, Monte-Carlo and Fontvieille are the best known of them.
Their codes are two letters taken from the French names, from MC-CL for La Colle to MC-VR for Vallon de la Rousse. Monte-Carlo is MC-MC, which repeats the country code.
