List of Czech Exonyms

The publication focuses on geographical names outside the Czech Republic, endonyms and Czech exonyms. Due to the range, only the most commonly used names were chosen. The 3rd edition (2019) substantially corrects previous editions and includes a supplemented or corrected range of geographical names from the whole world. The most important change is that endonyms are stated not only in Latin script but also in the original script used in each country. The names are stated in the official language of the territory and are linked to the standardized Czech geographical names (exonyms). Information about the origin of the names are added selectively. The publication also includes additions and revisions of the publication Czech Names of the Seas and International Territories. On 212 pages we can find 2696 Czech exonyms and their endonyms. The publication as well contains a glossary of names of states and a glossary of codes of languages according to corresponding ISO standards. ISBN 978-80-88197-20-1. The PDF version can be downloaded from CUZK Geoportal for 30 CZK.

The most important change is that endonyms are stated not only in Latin script but also in the original script used in each country. The names are stated in the official language of the territory and are linked to the standardized Czech geographical names (exonyms). Information about the origin of the names are added selectively.
