Countries of Europe: all 45 in their own languages, with ISO codes

Latin, Cyrillic and Greek

• ΕλλάδαGreece Greek
• УкраїнаUkraine Cyrillic
• MagyarországHungary Latin

Latin letters write 51 of the 61 native forms in the table, Cyrillic eight and Greek two. Cyrillic serves Belarus, Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Russia and Ukraine, and it stands beside Latin in three states of the former Yugoslavia: Србија and Srbija for Serbia, Crna Gora and Црна Гора for Montenegro, Bosna i Hercegovina and Босна и Херцеговина for Bosnia and Herzegovina. Greek is used for Greece and for the Greek form of Cyprus.

Diacritics account for much of the gap between a native and an English name: the Ö of Österreich, the ë of Shqipëria and Lëtzebuerg, the â of România, Í in Ísland and Č in Česko. Only nine rows match their English name letter for letter, France, Malta, Portugal and San Marino among them.

Thirteen rows show more than one form. Switzerland lists four languages and Belgium three; Finland, Ireland and the Netherlands pair the majority language with a second official one, as in Suomi and Finland, and Norway gives both written standards, Norge and Noreg. Vatican City adds the Latin Civitas Vaticana to the Italian name.

Names that changed in Europe

North Macedonia has been the ISO short name since 13 March 2019, when it replaced the long provisional form for Macedonia. Czechia became the English short name on 28 September 2016, while the full name remains the Czech Republic; the Czechia page has both.

Kosovo has no row on this page because ISO 3166-1 does not list it. The user-assigned code XK, used by the European Commission among others, appears with Kosovo on the full country list.
