List of foreign-language names for Cornwall

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cornwall's unique history has distinguished it enough for other languages to form their own name for it. While other counties have transliterations of their names or Celtic-language names, Cornwall is quite unique in the number of European languages that have given it their own name; in the United Kingdom only countries such as England, Scotland and Wales usually have this.
