People keep asking me where to find information about how to write a country or language name in the native language and script for links to localized versions of their web pages, so I thought I'd put a list together myself.
I make no guarrantees of correctness at this stage. It is still a work in progress. Starting the 3 May 2003, I have shown in the Notes column individual informants who have confirmed or corrected entries. These entries are likely to be correct. List sources may not always be 100% correct, so caution is advised.
Please send corrections or additional entries to ishida@w3.org, preferably using utf-8 encoded HTML attachments for native language text. Thanks!
This page is encoded using UTF-8 (Unicode). In many cases you will need appropriate fonts, and sometimes rendering capabilities, to view the text correctly.
Note: The source created by Michael Everson appears to (for the most part) provides translations for the phrase 'the X language', rather than the short form that would normally appear in a list of languages. Many of these are therefore listed in the notes column.
