From Macedonia to North Macedonia
ISO changed the short name from Macedonia (the former Yugoslav Republic of) to North Macedonia on 13 March 2019 and the full name to Republic of North Macedonia. The codes MK, MKD and 807 stayed as they were. The change followed the Prespa Agreement with Greece and took effect in February 2019.
In Macedonian the country is Северна Македонија, Severna Makedonija, in Albanian Maqedonia e Veriut. Before 2019 the official forms were Република Македонија (Republika Makedonija), Republika e Maqedonisë in Albanian, Republica ali Machedonia in Aromanian and Makedonya Cumhuriyeti in Turkish.
The exonym list records the older short form. Russian, Bulgarian and Serbian write Македонија or Македония, Greek Μακεδονία, Turkish Makedonya and Hungarian Macedónia; the capital Skopje is Üsküp in Turkish, Shkupi in Albanian and Scopia in Aromanian.

06 · ScriptsU+00EB LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH DIAERESIS
Cyrillic, Albanian and Turkish names
Macedonian is written in Cyrillic with letters such as ѓ, ќ, ѕ, љ, њ and џ, and the municipality names here carry a letter-for-letter transliteration. Albanian uses the Latin alphabet with ç and ë, so Тетово is Tetova and Дебар is Dibra in that language.
The Turkish names differ more: Bitola is Manastır, Veles Köprülü, Tetovo Kalkandelen. Ohrid became Ohri and Struga Ustruga, small adaptations of the Slavic form.
Ten of the 84 municipalities of the list share a seat, Skopje. ISO deleted their codes in 2015, when it listed the capital as one unit, MK-85, and brought them back with three-digit codes in 2020. Drugovo, Oslomej, Vraneštica and Zajas were joined to Kičevo and have no code today.
